Seriously? Or do you just mean relative higher price? I'd never thought of my

I would have thought that the money lies with "rare products from a well-known
brand that *do* something appealing", and you need all three for a high price.
(e.g. the Apple 1 counts because it'd be a fun system to mess around with -
the Apple /// is really just a business system, and so the yawn factor kicks
in :-)
I guess the highest price is demanded by
"rare products from a well-known
brand". Say, maybe i432 computer from intel, Apple III from apple.
...and there "rare" is a comparative thing. There were far more more
Apple III's produced than, say Jonos systems. Yet it seems that the
Apple will command a higher price.
