The original Apple 1 computer for sale on eBay

There are thought to be only 30 - 50 Apple 1 computers left in the world.  In 2009 two of them sold for $50,000 each.  This one was just listed with a starting bid of $30,000.   I think it's going to sell!

I'm on a waiting list for the Apple 1 Mimeo kit which is a replica that tries to be as close to the original design possible.  I can't wait for it to arrive!   There is also a book called "Apple 1 Replica Creation : Back to the Garage" that walks you through the design from scratch so you understand every chip, every pin, every connection.   I have so many Java books on my plate, I'd like to put them down to work through this book as a "light break". It could be a good introduction to electrical engineering which is something I'm starting to get interested in.

UPDATE: It sold for $42,766.00 !
