Ok...anyone know who dropped the big 20 kilobux on
this one?

Not saying it's not worth it (I've certainly never seen a working one,
ever,) but the price is still a shock. Big $ for an Apple 1 I can
see...there are collectors of "cultural icons" like the original Apple
product outside of our hobby. I can't see the same being so for a
Commodore relic.
I was surprised at the total, and I did notice the winner was a
0-feedbacker, though if you look at the next highest bid, it was 20K
from a bidder with plenty of feedback.
Next year, remind me about this before VCFMW. I have 2 working units,
plus the exceedingly rare RAM expansion card (I'm not sure there are any
others in existence), as well as an earlier version of the RAM card that
is not complete, and a special burnin cartridge for the unit (not
complete, don't know what it does). I can bring it to the show and demo it.
