Description from the eBay listing:
“This is the computer that started it all! The Apple ][ was the first ‘consumer’ computer that didn’t require a degree in Electrical Engineering to use, and this particular unit was the fifth Apple ][ ever produced. It was hand delivered to me by Mike Markula, then chairman of the Board at Apple.
At the time I was a buyer and product manager for the TEAM Electronics chain. I discovered Apple at the first annual West Coast Computer Fair, where I worked out an arrangement for TEAM to become the first Apple retailer. The machine has been in my possession for many years, and has been carefully stored for over a decade.”
Bidding starts at $10,000.
Hmmm… I don’t know….
$10,000 and no case?
I wouldn’t pay more than $9,870 myself.
