This Apple-1 Can Be Yours for $240,000
Posted in: Apple, Today's ChiliThis Apple-1 and a signed note from Steve Jobs included with the package can be yours for the low, low price of $161,000 to over $240,000 if you have the money and the stomach to bid on it. The Apple-1 is up for auction at Christie’s in London, and was originally one of the first 200 Apple-1 computers to be sold by then partners and now Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who parted with the hardware for a very evil and now infamous $666.66.
Similar Apple-1 models have sold at auction for as much as $50,000, but the addition of the signed note and the near pristine condition this Apple-1 is in may have led to the bump in starting bid. This Apple-1 comes with the original packaging, operating and instruction manuals, and sales invoice that lists the address of the garage where Apple started as the company address.
Bidding is open now if you want this piece of computing history in your personal collection, but it’s more likely that the buyer will either be a wealthy private collector or a museum or foundation looking for a unique piece to put on display.
