I can't see Mr. Hatfield willfully agreeing to sell the Apple I in
question for only $40,000 if he had known in advance that it had the
potential to sell for more than $600,000, working or not.
[And for the record, the above reply from Richard makes is very glad I
plonked him some time back since he apparently still thinks I'm going to

My point
was how this (currently unnamed) middleman took advantage of Mr.
Hatfield and paid him only $40,000 for the Apple I [...]
Bullshit.
Mr. Hatfield was not taken advantage of. He entered into the
transaction willingly and was not coerced in any manner.
Using your logic above, I am "taken advantage of" every time I buy
something because the other person made a profit from the transaction. This is bullshit.
Indeed it is.
