Steve Jobs 1983 autograph letter sells for $479,939

So a fan named L.N. Varon sent Steve Jobs a letter in 1983 asking for an autograph. Jobs wrote back on official Apple letterhead, thanking him for reaching out but explaining that he just didn't do signatures. Cool, fair enough. Then you get to the bottom of the page and there it is. Signed. Steven P. Jobs, Chairman, Board of Directors. The whole thing sat around for decades before RR Auction put it up, and someone paid $479,939 for a letter where the guy says he won't sign autographs and then signs it. That's the most expensive polite no I've ever heard of, man.
