Did anyone else see this auction??

The sad thing is that this A1000 will likely never be used!

Good for it, because so old unused capacitors and chips might just blow themselves at the first sight of the first electron on power up.

My guess is that this will never be unboxed
Much like a 100 year old bottle of champagne, the glory in it is owning the only one, with the contents never being tasted. Being able to pull it from your wine cellar just to show and marvel at it

So, just like the Schrödinger's cat, it will be the Schrödinger's A1000.
Is there an A1000 inside the box or not? No one will ever know and the A1000 could be in different points of the space-time continuum at equal probabilities: that's quatum physics
At least, i take for sure that there was an A1000 inside the box just one second after the box was closed at the Commodore factory on 1985
