Vintage Apple-1 Sells for Record $671,400

Whoever bought the thing from Mr. Hatfield earlier this year really should
be ashamed of himself. I for one hope someone out there could at least send
Mr. Hatfield one of the Apple I replicas.
Why?
An object is worth what someone somewhere is willing to pay for it.
That's what "worth" means. I don't see how something selling for a lot
of money is worse than something selling for very little money,
really.
I mean, I personally think Mark Rothko paintings are boring pointless
blodges of colour, totally lacking in any artistic merit. However, I
understand that they sell for many millions. That is not a problem for
me.
My preferred intepretation is that it just means that there are a lot
of fashion-following rich idiots out there, rather than that I have no
taste. :?)
