Regarding the wrong auction price, I wonder if the $300K discrepancy was Sotheby's fee, so the article is trying to say that Wayne might have pocketed $1.3 million? (Or it could be sloppy journalism.)
I thought I noticed another error in the article where it said that Wayne "gave up his 10 percent of Apple for just $2,300", but Sotheby's scan of the amendment to the contract (the 4th page) says "Wozniak and Jobs agree to pay and deliver to Wayne, the sum of eight hundred dollars ($800)".
That part wasn't an error. The Sotheby's Catalogue Note at the same site says that Wayne "received another $1,500 when Apple found the funding they needed shortly thereafter", which would bring the total he received to $2,300.
