Over stating it a bit aren't you?!
Shame I only had $374,000 to spend. [/QUOTE
Without it, or without it being a success, would Apple be here? Smartphones like they are today? Tablets, music, and more.

There really are times when we place too much value on things.
Just...why?
There are a bunch of personality disorders that can fit your answer: Narcissism, borderline...
It is amazing paying that much money for a piece a plastic that does nothing not even regarding the history behind it.
I mean, imagine the person having that circuit board in a pedestal just to "show off". Imagine how much that person need for people approval that he/she needs to spend that amount of money. That is a personality disorder.
I mean, the Mona Lisa is a piece of art that is unique and extraordinary. This Apple One is not, it was replaced a few months later for another version that was better. But do not try to explain that to someone with that ego.
Just...why?
With tax in CA it was $700.00?What's with the original price of $666.66 ?

I understand that, which is why I stated "from my perspective", as if it were me going to buy the Apple I. I'm not a collector or an art buff, so I don't see the value in much of those things for me, which is why I question it.
Just like beauty, I believe that value is also in the eye of the beholder.
So obviously, it was worth the $375K to the buyer. If it were me, I wouldn't give $1 for it, simply because I have no use for an Apple I. Unless my intention was to resell it for an excessive amount of money.

Hey, more power to the buyer. But from my perspective, I ask why? Why pay that much for it and what could I do with it, aside from looking at it, pointing and saying "well, there it is."

They mentioned this in Jobs' biography. $666.66 was the cost of the components plus 50%.
Only about 200 Apple 1s were ever created. The computers were hand-built by Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak and originally sold for $666.66 (£426) as a fully assembled circuit board.
He later said he picked a sum with a repeating number "because it was just an easier way to type".
Because you are buying one of the most important artifacts of world history ever made.
