I was looking on eBay, actually at iPhones, I bought an 8gig one, for $350, but its not bad. Anyways, some guy has a Original Apple 1 Computer for sale

eBay Linky...

Aren't these things suppose to be impossible to find?! How'd he get one?

I'm not interested in buying it, I don't have close to that money, heck I blew my money on the iPhone, but just got courius thats all
 
Talk about luck. Now while he could have sold it at a later time for probably even more $, it's not worth the risk.

It truly started a revolution and it is amazing that somebody got a hold of it.
 
Well, since there was one that sold for over 50k, I wouldn't mind snagging it at 10k, but I don't have money, I'm broke :eek:
 
I think that $50,000 sale was the very first Apple I unit built and sold, which made it unique. It was auctioned off in 1999 in San Francisco by a relative of the original purchaser.

It was offered to Steve Jobs at the time but he declined, saying he had such a hard time selling it in the first place that he didn't want it back. Ha ha.

Another was put up for sale on Applefritter in 2004 for $30,000, but I don't know if it sold or not. The listing for it is still there.
 
I thought the last one on ebay went for $34k or something like that.....crazy!
 
There is a bid for 10k on it and a buy it now of only 20k... But he added a note saying some guy thought it was fake... Don't look fake to me. Still for a musume that ain't a bad deal... I am sortof amazed it didn't sell yet! :eek:

Now I want to get into collecters stuff for Macs :)
 
He's pulled the auction as it's a replica. Lucky for the guy who bid $10,000 for it!

The 'Apple Computer 1' label is printed wrong with space between the p_l_e, and missing the 'Palo Alto Ca Copyright 1976' as well.

Here's an image of the label on an original motherboard
 
Shame it's a replica, but good thing he pulled it before someone paid way too much for it! That'd be like buying what you thought was a DMC-12 only to have it turn out to be a diesel Chevette with gullwing doors. =P

i think some one makes a kit called replica one that runs the apple 1 roms for a couple hundred bux.
but some clones are worth alot in cars but idk so much about computers because they ill never be "functonal" in the modern since.
 
1999 was a different era people were fat with easy dotcom money. Today is a different time no one in their right mind is going to blow 10K on some old computer motherboard, even if it is the Apple I.

Wow I guess people still have money to burn for no reason.
