At $666.66 this must have been a diabolic deal!

Not really. The Apple I was discontinued within a year of release, if you saved that money until 1978 then you could get an Apple II that would be supported for almost 20 years give-or-take.

Part of the reason the Apple I is so rare, is that Apple offered an Apple I trade in program. Apple would destroy the boards of Apple Is that were traded in for Apple IIs.

* Not that there was really many to begin with.

What was the reasoning behind that?

Probably to reduce support costs.

I recall my junior high school had only Apple IIs in 1995.
