Upon closer examination it is clear that it isn't. The keyboard is wrong, the serial number is too high and the date code on the motherboard appears to be 8006. That tells me that this is a 1980 Apple ][. If the bidding went this high because of the 1978 claim, then the buyer is going to be disappointed.
I noticed that too, but it is quite common for a seller to list a copyright date as if it were a date of manufacture. ;-( -michael Fast Sudoku solver for Apple II's! Home page: http://members.aol.com/MJMahon/ "The wastebasket is our most important design tool--and it's seriously underused."
