Oh really? I've got a friend who is a former Apple employee who gave me
one for a LOT less than that: but that was some years back, probably when
they were just "old", but still, I've seen them go for about $50 on local
classifieds.
Sorry this is getting so confusing,

Matt can say "laugh of the day," but a couple of years ago I did
authentication and provenance on one that sold for $12,000, the last one I
SAW sell went for $22,000, and there's one for sale in Southern California
(with Apple packaging, full paperwork and a signed letter from Jobs,) for
$30,000 -- it hasn't gone yet, but it will, probably to Japan. Yes, $17K
is (mildly) a deal.
AFAIK there are only about eighty of the little dears left, and think of
the number of people who want one. To tell the truth, in the last year or
so there's begun to be concern about counterfeiting.
