Wow, someone paid $56k for a MITS ALTAIR.  And $945k for an Apple 1.  Not to mention 
$718k for an Enigma machine.  A bunch of things went for way above the estimate, while 
for others it's much closer.  One wonders why; I suppose a possible explanation is 
"because the auction house doesn't particularly understand the market for these 
things".
