I didn't even know this thing existed! $8,000 for probably a one of a kind. That is just sweet. | |
| Posted by: TheIanMan85 on 2012-03-09 16:18:18 Very cool. I can't say I'd shell out $8000 for it, but maybe someone will. Prototypes are tough to predict prices on, they're usually best to list in a traditional auction and let the market determine the price in my opinion. You can always put a reserve on it if you have a rock-bottom price in mind that you wouldn't sell under. I just like looking at Apple prototypes online...it's much more affordable than actually buying them. 😛 If I was gonna shell out big bucks I'd go hunting for a transparent compact or something like that I think. Here's a couple of examples of what I'd love to own from a quick AppleFritter search. I'd love a colored transparent one even more; I've seen some green ones but they didn't come up in my one minute 'Fritter hunt.  Pgcf1BM7fyZFi(g_3.jpg.d144a4d8a67725ece72e1cc9329e0217.jpg) | |

| Posted by: tt on 2012-03-15 11:44:19 It runs HyperCard instead of Finder? Interesting, I wonder what the user interface was like. Hopefully whoever bought it will be able to resurrect the hard drive and show it off. It seems like a lot of these things get bought for big money and then go back into hiding. | |
