THE old stuff Apple rarities are still selling as well, as demonstrated by the latest round auction led by RR Auction called “Steve Jobs and the Apple Computer Revolution”. The amateur could find there archives, old marketing objects and especially unusual computers.
Like this beautiful Lisa having belonged to Del Yovam, former vice-president of the box, and which is supplied with a very rare double floppy drive. The machine sold for $81,251.
Rare too, this prototype of Mac 128K with a pretty spectacular carrying case. It was a custom-made accessory for a handful of Apple employees. The whole thing was sold for $16,500.
There was also this iPhone original “Edge” in its packaging. It left at $54,904, or $9,000 less than a previous auction. It’s still 91 times more expensive than in 2007 (the smartphone was then sold for $599). Damn inflation!
Search your closets and your attic: who knows, maybe an old Apple carpet is gathering dust when it’s worth gold! Like this carpet from 1983 sold for $3,159…
A little last for the road, this iPhone 11 signed by Tim Cook! The smartphone reached $3,976 “only”, you might say, but it may increase in value in the next few years.
