Oh well, I guess if you have the money... why not?

Interesting to note the Apple I was initinally sold as a PCB without a keyboard or case, so resellers had to fit the PCB into their own custom case with keyboard.

This early Apple I sold for $374.5K, almost twice the amount of a prereviousy auctioned Apple I.

Therefor, I suspect this Apple I must have been fitted with a Topre which may explain the almost doubled price.
