This is so fucking cool.

I don't think Ebay is the right marketplace to be selling such a computer. Usually those machines are sold through auction houses with verified bidders.

Going with ebay is like calling cousin vinnie down at 3rd rate motors located in the middle of the ghetto to sell your Bentley for you.

Yeah. Considering how much BS and scam nonsense I had to deal with selling GPUs for a few hundred dollars, I would not even consider ebay for something of that worth.

I stopped selling on ebay years ago after dealing with some asshat in FloriDUH. Bought a grabber card from me, had no idea how to use it and claimed it was broken. Of course Ebay gave him a full refund and shipped the card back to me. It still worked when I plugged it in to the very same test machine it came out of.

Ebay didn't care and I lost the $200 sale plus the fees. That was the third strike on them, they're fuckin' out. Ali Express treats you better.

That seller is retarded 1.75 mil and he will charge you for delivery or his traveling expenses and he is selling on ebay. What a cheap ass.

How much is an Apple 1 worth?
The original machine designed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak might not hold up in terms of computing power, but it sure holds its value, and then some. This working Apple-1 system sold for $375,000 at auction.Sep 26, 2018

----

In 2014, an Apple-1 computer fetched $905,000 at an auction at Bonhams in New York

The Apple II used the same CPU as the Apple 1 (6502 or 65C02 @ ~1 MHz.) This didn't change until the Apple IIgs in 1987 with the WDC 65C816 @ 2.8 MHz and the Apple IIc Plus in 1988 with a 65C02 @ 4 MHz.

Apple had a problem that many other micro computers at the time had where the design was based around the NTSC/PAL colorburst frequency. To further complicate things, lots of software was generally written to expect a specific CPU clock frequency and running it on a faster machine would cause unpredictable results like it running too fast, glitching out or just crashing. So even when the later IIc and IIgs came out, they had to build in backwards compatibility by allowing the CPU to run at a lower speed. This was again further complicated on the IIgs by the fact it had a 65C816 instead of a 6502, which was an extended 16 bit version of the 6502 and much faster.

It was ironic that the later Apple II series (especially the IIgs) had more functionality and speed (with 3rd party upgrade boards) than early Macs. Steve Jobs turned what could have been a great series of machines into dumpster fires with all of the same problems his bastard red headed step child the Apple III had just because he demanded that no vent holes or fans could be added "because he thought they were ugly and machines should be silent." early all in one macs had horrific failure rates due to grossly overheating, turns out smokin hot vacuum tubes and logic boards don't like being in hot boxes.

I'm surprised Apple doesn't buy this back to put it on display at their HQ. $1.75m is basically pennies for them.

With how anti-consumer and disposable their company has become in the last 15 years, I really doubt they'd want a relic of their past.
