Apple Computers don't always hold their value. This one didn't quite bring the value its sellers wanted. It only brought in 85% of the expected selling price. . . $850,000! Oh, well, I could live with that. DAMN! didn't I have the 20/20 foresight to let loose of $666 back in the mid-1970s and buy one and stick it in a closet? — PING!

So, if $10,000 worth of Apple stock bought 10 years ago is worth $667,159.85 today; what would $666 worth of Apple stock bought in 1970 be worth?

And that thing is useless without some supporting hardware. It is nothing more than a mother board with a connector on the side. There is not even a place to plug in the little circuit board shown on the side...What ever that is. No keyboard. Just a power transformer. Where is the output for a monitor?

There are still a number of Apple-1's out there in circulation, if I were to guess anywhere from 50 to 60. However, most are non-op. I think what gets the big money at auction are Apple-1 units that still function with the original components, and documentation to go with it.

Many units are cobbled together with modern alternative components which greatly reduce their resale value. Then there are people trying to pass off counterfeit or clone units. Let the buyer beware; you have to do your homework to know you're getting your money's worth for a vintage piece. I have a couple clone Apple-1s, and they are very close to an original unit although they are worthless in comparison. Just the white CPU chip can fetch big bucks (I guess over a thousand, just guessing) because they are rare.

I still have my original Macintosh...

Manufactured in: F => Fremont, California, USA
Year of production: 1984
Week of production: 24
Production number: KNC => 22724
Modell ID: M0001 => original Macintosh 1984 (128k)

Most of the floppy disks I saved no longer work. I wish someone would make a SCSI/dongle for them, with an assortment of software. Would be neat to see it fired up again.
