Haha.

Maybe I'll just contact those who get out-bidded on the Apple I, and say, 
"Have I got a deal for you?" ;-)

That's odd to think that the Mark Twain is far rarer than the Apple I, but 
only 4 have ever shown up. Or, should I say, only 4 people (that I know 
of) have ever admitted to having one?

And, who knows how many other Apple II prototypes there are that never 
escaped from the Apple campus? Lots, I bet...

In any case, it's because of the uncertainty of the pricing on these rare 
machines that I'm hesitant to put the MK up for sale on eBay. That said, 
I've never used eBay to either buy or sell anything, so maybe there's 
something about the whole set-up that I'm missing, but I just don't like 
the whole concept of an auction.
