I saw this on ebay and the price seems ludicrous. The back of my memory
says the signatures were part of the mold the case was made from and all of
the Mac 512K machines had them. The URL is:

Am I missing something ... or is it the bidders :)?
Nope... These are people with lots of money, and totally without a clue.
I can pull the back case off of any number of the early Macs in my
collection and find the signatures molded into the case.
This looks like a classic case of 'weasel-wording'. Accurate, but phrased
to obtain the maximum effect desired... Out-of-control bidding!
And the annoying thing is... it is working!
