Butt ugly. However, if it sells at that price point, then it becomes a different matter altogether.
It's possible to get a plastic mold of this size made in Taiwan for about US$12,000, perhaps a bit less at a factory in mainland China. And with such a mold mold, you could inject any kind of plastic you want, whether clear, semi-clear or colored. A nice way to get a ROI and turn a respectable profit too. Sell only a couple of these a year at $25k, pump the word "rare," and no one will be the wiser on EBAY. Apple logos are easy to scavenge from cheap Apple equipment on EBAY.
That doesn't mean this particular auction is a SCAM. But anyone wanting to make a buck could create such a scam rather easily, especially if they are already in the Asian manufacturing industry.
All said, I would advise my wealthy friends here on the 68kMLA to never bid on something like this. Save up for an original Apple I instead. Or better, if you have that much disposable income, buy an original Apple I for a poor Apple lover like me instead.
