I don't see prices of previous auctions. What do these go for roughly?

One went for $440K in 2022 [1], and one that was an Apple owned unit that came from the "office of Steve Jobs" went for $945K last year [2]. 1. https://www.macrumors.com/2022/12/16/apple-1-sells-for-440k/ 2. https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6495022

Crazy that Apple sold this.

What an amazing labor of love to catalog all these machines. Some of the stories behind each individual machine are amazing. I remember when Fry's Electronics (was it Palo Alto or Sunnyvale?) had one on display.

Man... tangentially, is there a coffee table book about Fry's yet? I remember in the dot com days they had a lounge pianist there as well as a cafeteria? And also, oddly, adult magazines by the check out lines.
