Okay, now this is very odd... There are 3 Apple 1's on eBay, how can this be? I saw one before and it sold for over $50,000 and people say there is probally less then ten, so HOW can there be three on eBay right now:confused:

Yes, but how can it look exactly like the original the whole board? Vincent's look more basic, where can I find on the net ones exactly like those?

Oh, I don't think supplying pictures would be a problem either - that's not really the point... ;)

$30,000, huh? Well, here's hoping my Apple //e is worth that much someday....

Thanks! I'm sure people said the exact same thing 25 years ago to people who had Apple 1s. :p Hindsight is 20/20 and you can never predict the future. :cool:

thats very true, but there was so many appleIIe's made and so many floating around out there( i have 4 myself) that it would have to be a rare model or have some rare upgrade cards in it to be worth something

Yeah, I know, I was just saying... :eek: ;) Maybe it won't be worth $30K, but hopefully it'll be worth more than was initially paid for it someday, which was $5K at the time in 1983! :eek: ;)
