Someone paid $5k but may have gotten hosed (even more than is obvious). read the thread in the apple2 usenet group about the Apple II.

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180748758152

an interesting discussion thread about what the buyer actually got instead of what he thought he was getting.

"I asked Terry if that was the original motherboard since it looked like
a board from a later II+ and he replied that it was in fact upgraded
at some point. Apparently he doesn't feel obligated to post that
information in his auction.

I call shenanigans. I also sense a great amount of douchebaggery.

Bidder with "0" feedback won, and is not registered anymore. I bet it will be re-listed.
