Bidding on 'Extremely Rare' Apple I Manual From 1976 Reaches Nearly $10,000 at Auction [Updated]

While we can download that PDF version of the manual and print it out, this original Manual and the feeling when touching it and reading it is irreplaceable. I truly respect this book being sold in $10k. Not really worth it for most people but a valuable asset nonetheless. Part of being a collector is to appreciate the legend and story items have carried during all of those years, and fully understand how to preserve them as much as possible.

Tim Cook should stop bidding up old Apple paraphernalia and get back to work designing new products with some innovation for a change! Tim Cook out! 😱

This had nothing to do with Tim or Apple. It's a private sale. I'd buy it if I had too much money.

And, honestly, I don't know what you mean when you imply that Apple isn't innovating. What kinds of things are you looking for? As someone who started with time-share 300 baud teletype computing I'm amazed to see what I can do with a device I can hold in my hand, or wear on my wrist. Seriously, what do you want?

And the coffee stain (could be cola) just adds to the realism.
