Heh.  You're right.  According to the Apple II history site
(http://www.apple2history.org/history/appy/ahb.html) The first Apple II
boards shipped in 1977 (the board on eBay has a 1979 copyright :)

Not only that, notice I said "boards".  The full systems shipped a
month later.  Which means they did sell standalone boards, which is
contrary to what the seller states in his writeup.
