Rare Operating Apple 1 Rakes In $374,500 At Sotheby's Auction
coondoggie writes "It's not one-of-a-kind, but it's pretty darn close. Sotheby's this week auctioned off a rare, working Apple 1 computer for $374,500 to an unnamed bidder. The price was more than double the expected price listed on the Sotheby's web site. Sotheby's notes about the Apple 1 say it is one of six thought-to-be-operational boxes and one of about 50 known to exist."
I know you think you're incredibly intelligent.
Please look at the values of gold for the last 50 years and realize that the only reason gold is worth so much now is idiots who think it has some inherent value different than any other publicly traded commodity. See how the price spikes in the last six years? See the correlation between the price increase and wackjobs telling you gold is the only safe option?
