1993 Apple WALT protoype hits eBay
Share:
While the product was never released, it did make it far along the process to have an instructions manual printed up. On the eBay listing, it was noted that the device had SCSI and VGA output inside. The unit on eBay is not functional because of a loose connection that a buyer could fix. As you might imagine, the pricing for WALT requires more than the change in your couch. You can opt to pay the "Buy it now" price of $8,000 and bidders are asked to submit their best offers. While WALT surely has some historical significance, 8 grand can buy you quite a few 64GB Apple iPhone 4S units.

For $8000 I could do a lot of things. For instance; I could fix the transmission in my van, have the engine/head rebuilt on my car, and move into a nicer place than I currently am in.

I would rather spend all that money on more recent technology that I would actually use.

Anyone who pays $8000 for a large caller I.D. box is an Absolute iDiot.

if you buy this prototype,and keep it,surely the value will uncrease over the years and you will sell it at a profit!

Then another war breaks out, the economy craps, then you're left with a $8,000 paper weight.
Use the $8k and buy gold! ...or a bunker supplied with beans and bullets...either way.
