This functional Apple-1 system is sold for $ 375,000 at auction.
RR auction
In the mid-1970s, a brand new Apple-1 system manufactured by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak was sold at Byte Store in Mountain View, California, for $ 666.66. On Tuesday, one of the less than 70 remaining Apple computers was auctioned at $ 375,000, more than 562 times the initial selling price.
In other words, if the original buyer had kept the system for more than 40 years and then sold it at the auction price, this would represent a return on the investment initial amount of more than 56 000%.
the Apple-1 specific sold this week was especially special as it was restored to working order before the auction. We were able to see a demo running last month.
The computer was part of an RR Auction online auction, which included other lots of Apple memorabilia, such as a signed annual report signed by Steve Jobs and sold for $ 23,750.
Jobs and Wozniak have produced only 200 Apple-1 units in total and from time to time, an auction poster and research up to $ 750,000 (This was the first batch in the production cycle)
It's very difficult to pay for a machine with only 8 KB of RAM, but I understand.
