Apple I on Ebay

---snip--- One of the problems is ebay. A person could use photos of a real Apple I and sneek in a Replica I in its place. Many buyers wouldn't realize the switch until they'd had the unit for a few days. By that time, the seller could be long gone. A couple years back, one of the ebay sleezes tried to pass what he knew was a Replica I off as a real Apple I. He knew this because he'd scrapped the words Replica I off the board himself. He'd bought the board about a month earlier, under a different name. What he didn't realize was that he'd tried to sell his car under both names and there was the same picture. He had a number of stories as to how he came on the board. In one case, he claimed the it was an estate sale. Then he claimed he'd got it from his brother. I'd written him several notes explaining to him that fraud over $10 was probably prison time in his state. He later toned down his sale and said that it had been identified by others that it was not an original but it may be a replica. Still, someone payed several thousand dollars for it but I most likely saved his ass. I doubt he'd thank me though. Dwight
