OK, here's the scoop on the outcome of today's La Salle auction. First off, it turns out there was not one Apple 1 at auction, but two! The lots consisted of the following: Lot: Seller anonymous. Apple 1 computer (no serial #), keyboard, original manual, 2 canceled checks. SOLD for $18,000 to a Captain O'Mahony of London, England. Lot: Seller, Jeff Raskin. 3 computers in lot. Apple 1 computer (serial # 4), Apple II computer (serial # 2), Millionth Macintosh with Plaque (one of 6). UNSOLD at a starting price of $90,000. I believe this is the first verifiable recorded public sale of an Apple 1, with the exception of the old Computer Bowl charity auction, which doesn't really count. PURE SPECULATION: The guy I bought my SWTPC 6800 from at VCF 2.0 said he had an Apple 1 that he was going to have sold at an "auction house in the bay area" in the coming year. I'm willing to bet that the anonymous seller was this guy. I recall that somebody in our core community (Marvin? Doug Coward?) knew this guy and could verify this. Kai
