Title: Another working Apple-1 pops up, could sell for $500K Post by: HCK on June 22, 2013, 03:00:56 pm Another working Apple-1 pops up, could sell for $500K
Christie’s said it hopes to sell a working Apple-1 computer for as much as half a million dollars in a special online-only auction that starts next week. The computer (shown above), one of fewer than 50 known to have survived from a limited run of about 200, is even rarer in that it works, according to Christie’s, which Friday confirmed an account by the Associated Press that the Apple-1 is functional. Christie’s estimated that the rare computer will sell for between $300,000 and $500,000. That’s not impossible: Last month, a working Apple-1 sold at a German auction for $542,000. The total, including a 22.3% commission as well as taxes, paid by the buyer was a record $671,400.
