 for someone to speak up if they are already judged a "moron".
 I'd love to hear what they actually got, without calling them names
 if it turns out to be an apple //e or whatever.

That's not a fuck-up, that's reality.  You made the choice knowing
everything.  There's no analogy whatsoever to what happened here, which is
someone buying a wooden box with a keyboard on speculation (driven by the
seller's fraud through omission) that it was something else.

If it does end up being an Apple-1 I will eat my first born.

Hi
 There is a real good chance that the wood box computer
wasn't even found in the same collection as the Apple.
the seller just put the two together for effect.
