Unless you're talking about an Apple 1. $15,000 is not an unreasonable
price from a demand standpoint. There were only 200 produced and
200,000 people want one.

That was a lucky person. In my estimation straight Apple ]['s are getting
hard to find. I searched for 3 months last year and could only come up
with 1. Of course this will all change when they start going for $1000 on
eBay, and the 50,000 people who bought Apple ]['s back in 1977 catch wind
of this and start emptying out their closets.
