[SIGCIS-Members] Christie's at it again

Christie's auction house is doing another computer history sale. All the press today is focused on their Apple 1. For the record, Apple 1 systems typically sell on eBay and among collectors and hobbyists for $15,000-$25,000. Usually one or two per year come around. Sales have been on the low side lately because of the economy. Even the deep-pocket people aren't spending too high. Christie's plans to START their bidding at $161,000. Yet the Apple 1 they're selling is not particular special (it's a high serial number) and it's been altered from original condition. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20022691-37.html Insanity reigns.
