Apple I on Ebay

I think this guy did as good a job and doesn't owe the amount that Sotheby's charges. In the computer area they don't have experts I'd pay their buyer's premium to have. My point is I'd rather have someone hunted down either here or thru contacts here explaining the provenance than them. If they do it and say they did I just don't see why that makes it any better. If they handled the volume of collectable computers to have people on staff who are as knowledgeable as this group that would be one thing, but there is not. i'd go to one of the computer museum people here, for instance or a serious collector such as you and line up the experts and document it. If Sotheby's starts to demonstrate they can regularly deliver the market to support $100k apple 1's then they deserve the business. but a guy like the one with the current listing is doing a pretty good job on his own and Ebay is finding the market. It would be interesting to see if he had any dealings with the auction houses before doing either the previous one or this one. I'll send a question to see if they answer.
