And RR Auction has a lot of vintage Apple products and Apple-related memorabilia up for bid that even the most casual collector will find difficult to pass up.</p>



<p>In a lot titled, &ldquo;<a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&amp;url=https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/auction-details/632-the-steve-jobs-revolution-engelbart-atari-and-apple/&amp;xcust=1-1-614638-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed" rel="nofollow">The Steve Jobs Revolution: Engelbart, Atari, and Apple[/url],&rdquo; RR Auction is selling nearly 70 items that are tied to the early days of Apple, Atari, and Douglas Engelbart, who invented the&nbsp;mouse (https://www.macworld.com/article/193836/mouse40.html), among his many technological creations. And while this is an auction of vintage items, two of the products are sold with NFTs, &ldquo;the trendy new tech that takes the next step in connecting the physical and digital worlds,&rdquo; according to RR Auction&rsquo;s lot description.</p>

(The magazine was put up for sale by a &ldquo;senior product manager at Apple&rsquo;s corporate office in Cupertino, CA, from 1991-1998,&rdquo; according to RR Auction. Macworld and its parent company, IDG, have no involvement.)</p>



<p>The RR Auction is going on right now and you can bid on any of the items, which start as low as $200. Even if you don&rsquo;t want to buy anything, each item has a product description that tells the story behind each item, so it&rsquo;s worth your time if you&rsquo;re into the history of computers. The auction ends on March 17.</p>
