Proof that Apple products are overpriced :P

 

"What is believed to be one of the six working Apple-1 computers has fetched a whopping $671,400 for its current owner at an auction in Germany. The Apple-1 was built by Steve Wozniak back in 1976 in the garage of Steve Jobs' parents. The model sold at auction is either from the first lot of 50 systems ordered by Paul Terrell, owner of the Byte Shop chain of stores, or part of the next lot of 150 systems the duo built to sell to friends and vendors. The retail price for the Apple-1 at the time was $666.66."

Original price was $666.66.

Now I understand Apple!

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

Does this mean that Apple products will increase in price as they become older?

anything rare and old with a fan-base will get more expensive in time.
