Apple I - $161,000
« on: Wed, 17 November 2010, 10:29:41 »
For those of you who are collecting Apple keyboards, here's your big chance.  Not on eBay, but at Christie's.

Wish now I'd bought a few of those back in those days instead of my S-100 systems.

Maybe you could fix an M2 with those.  That would be funny (for the old-timers, anyway);  fixing an IBM with Apple parts.

I've got an apple ][ which was upgraded to a ][+ that kick that thing's ass I'll sell for 100k. lol

I saw someone else trying to sell one in the comments.  I wonder if the serial # on it matters.

Darn it's in storage now though.

Yeah, sometimes you can make some dough on Apple IIs with low serial number.

I've seen at least one these on ebay before, it was expensive but nothing like that price.

This computer is really significant.  I'd love to see that thing boot.

The Apple II is significant. Apple I was just a starter.

EDIT: I don't give a rat's a$$ about this old board. People like to iconify random things. But at least this has the iFad magnifier attached.

I like it that the Apple I was pure Woz.  Hardware and software designed and built from scratch into a usable system in the mid-70's by a single man... it doesn't get cooler than that.
