Frenzied eBay bids on Steve Jobs-signed Macworld copy
According to a News.com story there's a bidding frenzy taking place for Steve Jobs' autograph on the first ever issue of Macworld magazine. The bids on eBay are already topping $800 and the deadline is still one day away. In comparison,
"A signature of George Washington goes for about $500 to $1,000...and John Rockefeller, the first billionaire, gets about $250 to $500," said Michael Hecht, a director with the Universal Autograph Collectors Club (UACC). "But the prices people are willing to pay for Jobs is ridiculous. Even Jobs, who probably considers himself an important guy, wouldn't consider himself this important."
...Apple declined to comment on the bidding frenzy for its CEO's autograph. But the company may be pleased to see that bids are far outpacing those placed for a signed copy of Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates' book "Road Ahead," which is going for $20 to $25.
