An original Apple I in good condition is worth *many* times the
original sale price.

There have also been recent periods when RAM and active matrix LCD
prices have gone up (not by 5X, but definitely up).  I think the going
prices of Newton 2x00's and some models of HP palmtops also rose above
original retail for a period.

IMHO. YMMV.
