What they don't say is the 15%+ seller's premium, nor the $750+ to get it
listed in the first place. That is what a lot of these auction houses
charge.

Subject: Re: Apple 1 and Altair set new records at auction
And how do you define 'value'?
I know how _I_ define the vlaue of soemthing like this. It's in terms of how
much enjoyment I wil lget out of it. So an Applie 1 is worth about
$10 to me. On the other hand I recently bid a few hundred dollars for a part
of an HP peripehral for one of my m,achines (and fortunately got it for much
less) becuase that would provide many hours of entertainment.

idiots with too much disposable income.
...or, playing devil's advocate here, rich people with a much better
idea of an item's value than this (notoriously over-the-top cheap) crowd.
