This Apple II name plate sold for over $135

Considering it's an Apple II nameplate and is unused, as a collector I can
understand why. To begin with it's for the Apple II, the original
model sold from '77-'79. Not any of the much more commonly seen Apple
II's (Apple II+, IIE, IIE platinum). The poster who sarcastically
mentioned ripping off his faceplate to sell may not have noticed this.
Secondly, it's mint and unused, which to someone who's serious about
collecting and (in many cases as is needed in this hobby) restoring a
computer, something like that is a true gem to find.
