If anyone owns an Apple-1, the peak of the bubble has arrived. Sell yours
NOW and then buy it back after the bubble bursts.
In the meantime, maybe buy a nice tulip to replace it.

I'm buying less as well, but it's generally because there's less
showing up that's interesting at a reasonable price. It's more the
supply than the price. Terminals just aren't showing up much at all
anymore and given that I already have a good slice through the SGI
product line, there isn't much SGI showing up either. As for lesser
known players in 3D graphics, they barely were showing up on ebay when
I started this little "hobby".
Lately I've been doing better by personal networking, including this list.

lots of bucks. I'd like to see their actual provenance. The box of
text that came up in the catalog for provenance sucked.
I recently saw a memorabilia show which deals with Hollywood artifacts
where they demanded DNA on some hair from Marilyn Monroe. I'd think
provenance on this besides the forensic exam (which they had on the hair
for comparison) and the affidavits ( again that was present on the
other) would include exact purchase dates, and chain of ownership.
Their provenance and notes just has historical notes, and that this one
"works". If I ponied up the money like this and they said there were 6
working, I'd want to know which 6, and also whether this one is working
w/o any mods, if so what mods, when mods, etc. And complete chain of
ownership.
A meeting with Wozniak wouldn't hurt either on the matter.

Yes, well everyone will now come out of the woodwork and saturate the
market with them and they will drop quickly, though even the high end
days of $10k-$15k appear to be gone...
watch out for counterfeits now more then ever... there is money and when
the counterfeiters smell it, they will be hard at work now....

I don't know there are enough of them out there to saturate anything. I
suspect most people that have them aren't looking to sell them anyway. A
glut of Apple I's on ebay is probably not something worth worrying about.

A very good idea! Making a PCB that looks original won't be too
difficult. Even the ICs with correct date codes could be found. Making
the docs is more difficult.
But my main problem in making new Apple 1s is the fact that I don't have
an original to copy....
Hehe :-)
