Apple 1 brings record sum

There are only six working ”Ones” left today. When one of them are auctioned off they tend to be quite expensive, to say the least. Last year, one of the computers were sold for 400'000 euro. Now the record sum of 516'000 has been paid in Germany. The computer, which is said to have the signature of Steve Wozniaks, also comes with a business transaction letter from Steve Jobs. And just like last year we take some time to compare: About 200 were produced of Apples first personal computer, each containing some 60 chip on the motherboard (which was the actual computer). The user had to add a casing, power supply, video display and keyboard. The original price was set to USD 666.66.
