I can (somewhat) understand an Apple 1 auctioning for $10K+, because it is
purported that only 200 or so exist. But how many thousands of Altairs
were sold either in kit or assembled form? That's where it just doesn't
make sense that people would be willing to pay such ridiculous prices for
an old computer, be it collectable or whatever.

It just boils down to plain ignorance.
