Steve Jobs' death spawns collectibles, but few takers

steve jobs
When rock stars die, any trinket connected to their history soars in value. And certainly, Steve Jobs was the tech equivalent of a John Lennon or Jimi Hendrix.

But the death of the Apple co-founder last week had no such effect on Apple collectibles, from still-working 1980s computers to floppy disc sets.

Instead, the flood of media coverage has spawned a tsunami of iJunk with very few takers, while prices for bona-fide Apple treasures have remained pretty much where they stood a month ago.

The big losers: "Steve Jobs Apple R.I.P." t-shirts, which have flat-lined sales-wise even though they are available on eBay in 15 colors and sizes from S to XXL at the most un-Apple-like price point of $7.98 plus $4.98 shipping.
