I talked to Krishna a few years ago. I don’t think he is unhinged, but I can’t imagine any Apple 1 fetching that price, even though it appears to be one of the nicer survivors. It’s funny, when I first became interested in Apple 1s, condition mattered little,
but now the market has evolved to the point where condition seems to matter. Note that the Henry Ford Museum paid around 1 million dollars for an Apple 1 several years ago, though that price hasn’t been approached since.

I have to say that this is more than a little unhinged, possibly a further sign (as if one were needed) of the approach of the end times. Though I did recently pay $250 for a working Apple IIe with disk drives and monitor. Simple mathematics suggests for a
Bezos, Musk or Zuckerberg this would be a very much smaller purchase relative to net worth.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>
