Each episode of Open Apple features the “Apple Pickings” segment, wherein the hosts look at the latest Apple II auctions to grace the online auction site eBay. Within a month of each episode, we revisit those auctions to see what the results were; the following table compiles that information. (Note that the “Starting bid” and “Sold” columns don’t sort correctly when their headers are clicked.)
