Subject: RE: Apple _1_ on ebay???
There is a sucker born every minute. Did you see the other things the winner
has bid on, he must have deep pockets (Alonzo Mourning used Nikes $399, Deon
Sanders sweaty Jersey $1800, NRI 832 $1713.88). I don't think this guy in
Texas is going to be short on the rent if this wooden box is holding an
Apple II board.
There's no
guarantee it's an Apple 1. The seller
says only he can see
"wires and cards" inside. Perhaps it is an Apple ][
in a wooden case?
Nobody knows, and without pictures, nobody will
know.
I asked the seller for some pictures "under the hood"
of that machine, and was told that it had already been
boxed up for shipment. I'd imagine that if the really
thought it was an Apple I, he'd oblige, so it seems
clear that he expected to gain more from the
uninformed speculation of the potential buyers.
