The auctions of these Apple computers that were launched for the figure of $ 666 are causing a furor among collectors and another of these computers It was sold at the Christie auction house in England for around € 420.000.
The truth is that this type of computer can cost a lot of money and in a previous auction one of these rare Apple-1s managed to go over $ 600.000, but they have sometimes been sold for more than 800.000. In short, the curious thing about this is that these mythical Apple computers continue to exist and that some of them still work perfectly , so it is normal that so much is paid for them.
In this case, the Apple I auctioned had the incentive to be something different from the rest and that is that this equipment was inside a briefcase, the team also adds a rare manual that they say is one of the first made at Apple Computer for these computers. It also adds a monitor, a Panasonic signature recorder and other details that make it unique, so it is normal that such a significant amount of money is obtained in the auction held. On the website of Christie all the details of this magnificent auctioned equipment appear.
As you may already know, the Apple I's were assembled by hand by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak in the garage of Jobs's parents' house. Only about 200 units were created And they were sold without a monitor, keyboard or power supply for the figure mentioned above, $ 666, so they were already expensive in those days, but now their value is much higher. After this Apple I came the model called Apple II, of which there are not very good memories since it precipitated the first crisis of the North American company, one of the most serious in its history, from which they managed to get out years later. Currently, the few Apple I that are preserved can be sold for really high prices, as is the case with this unit that achieved a good figure.
