Remember that time Charles Schultz flirted with a woman nearly half his age by sending her suggestive drawings of his most famous creation? If so, you can relive this moment at auction. (AP Photo/Sotheby’s; ht Gawker)
The sixth Beatle? ”A Christie’s employee displays a letter inviting an unknown drummer to audition for The Beatles, at their auction house in London, on Oct. 17. The handwritten letter by Paul McCartney, dated 12 August 1960, inviting an unknown drummer to audition for The Beatles, was discovered folded-up inside a book, by an anonymous collector at a car boot sale in Bootle, Liverpool, England. It is expected to sell at auction for 7,000-9,000 pounds ($11,050-$14,200).” (Photo via Kirsty Wigglesworth/AP)

Are you the kind of person who doesn’t consider money an object? Did you solder your first computer together from a kit? Did you write your own operating system based on an article you read in BYTE Magazine way back in 1979? Did you parlay your nerdery into the kind of success that someone who is unfamiliar with the work of Raymond Feist could never even dream of? If so, this Christie’s auction is for you. It’s the original Apple I, and the auction starts off at a modest $160,000 – a few bucks more than its original $666.66 price. Have at it, nerd. source
