Breker auction house raises $ 132.000 for an Apple I

Undoubtedly, from the auction house itself, they are a bit touched after the price achieved for this spectacular Apple computer, of which very few are still in operation today. In fact, this auction house has sold several of these teams and about 4 years ago another team with similar characteristics reached 246.000 euros, a somewhat more important figure but which is also quite far from the greater amount obtained by one of these 'pieces' of Apple history created by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, which obtained the highest amount paid at an auction $ 671.000.

In any case the auction of this first personal computer created by Apple in the late 70s It has not achieved such a low amount if we take into account the sale value of these teams in those years, the issue is that now these Apple I are true collector's items and it is strange that it was not sold for a much higher quantity.

The auction that ended a few days ago added this Apple equipment with its corresponding certificate of authenticity, the own instruction book that Apple added in them and other original documents that could raise the price of the Apple I to spectacular figures, but this time It has not been like that and has kept the 110.000 euros. According to statements after the auction of Uwe Breker, head of said auction house, the auction of these teams "has been standardized" and for this reason they have not managed to reach the figures of previous occasions despite being a historical team of the Cupertino firm.
