eBay ou la folie furieuse (suite) !!!!!!

Oyez, oyez...

Voici la suite des aventures de la cote vertigineuse des softs Apple II sur ebay.

Le constat de la hausse sensible des prix a donné des idées à certains qui s'imaginent que tout ce qui a un rapport avec cette machine ne peut que se transformer en or.

Ils proposent ainsi des objets à des tarifs à tomber le cul par terre.
Bien entendu, devant tant de débilité, personne ne bide mais il n'empêche que l'on revoit surgir les mêmes enchères régulièrement avec des fois les prix majorés!!!!

Il y a d'abord tout ce qui touche de près ou de loin à Steve Wozniak.
On avait déjà vu le constructeur de jouets playmobiles sortir un modèle à tirage limité à l'effigie (c'est vite dit!!) de Steve... qui s'étant écoulé en quelques minutes seulement...
On pourrait presque se demander si quelques uns ne prennent pas le Maître pour une corne d'abondance en récupérant tout ce qu'il a pu mettre noir sur blanc. Certains essaient même de lui faire écrire quelques mots (dédicaces, ...) et revendent le résultat à des prix astronomiques en les faisant passer pour des collectors.

Steve pourrait presque refaire la scène " These are the fluids of my body " du génial film de Peter Greenaway " The Baby Of Mâcon ".

Un exemple pour la modique somme de ... 700 dollars!!! (Et encore, c'est le prix de départ...)

STEVE WOZNIAK - AUTOGRAPH NOTE SIGNED 03/16/1998 (Item number: 6594881106)

Starts at: US $700.00
Estimate: US $850.00 - US $1,700.00
Auction Date: Jan-15-06 10:00:00 PST
Item location: Las Vegas, NV USA

STEVE WOZNIAK. ANS: "Woz", 1p, 8x8. No place, 1998 March 16.
In full: "these sketches [not included] are very similar to the early Apple designs,
at least in format and first appearance. They are not, 25 years later, exact parts
of the Apple II circuit. I'd have had to 'cheat'." Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded
Apple Computers and turned Apple from a garage business into a multi-billion dollar
enterprise. Lightly creased. Fine condition.

Please note that this item is an original, authentically signed historical document.
Please do not be fooled by others selling copies/reprints as originals.

*NR* *VERY RARE* Apple Pascal poster by Jef Raskin

Original print of the famous Apple Pascal poster (Item number: 8752634207)

This poster is legendary in Apple circles. Lucas Wagner did an extensive
write-up on it a few years back detailing how Raskin's name was omitted from
the poster, which generated a lot of discussion on the Net.
I had the good fortune to be working at an Apple dealer back in 1981 when Apple
handed these out to us. My print spent several years with one of my friends at
Carnegie Mellon University, then later "returned home" to hang in my cubicles
at Apple and General Magic.

Reframed in 1988 into its present frame. There are some small faded spots in the
black areas of the poster, particularly near the edges. Otherwise, this print is
in excellent shape with no physical damage. It has not been exposed to any UV,
so the colors are still bright and sharp. (Click on detail pictures for larger images).
If you're a geek who has been dreaming of getting hold of one of these gems, now
is your chance to grab this rare find.

Un des premiers jeux d'aventure graphique voire le premier fut Mystery House. Bien qu'il soit devenu un freeware, le prix d'un original atteint toujours des tarifs pas possible. Dans la dernière vente, le montant atteint la somme de 202,5$ US.
