Still trolling the Apple II vs Commodore flame bait eh?
I'm happy to debate it, but let's start a new thread for it.
Yes, It's a good milestone.. but by that same token, I wouldn't call it rare... I'm not sure what the total number of original 1977 Pet 2001's produced was, but if I had to pick a commodore to fetch a premium collectors price, The VIC20 and C64 wouldn't be my first guess, any more than a bog standard Apple II+ or IIe would be for Apple.
(Despite the apple II line being both prominent and numerous, there were only 600ish 1977 "REV0" Apple II's made and less than 8000 1978 "REV1" Apple II's... Consequently as a collector's item, they're expensive.)
