Rare working Apple I computer to hit auction block this month
A German auctioneer will put a working Apple I computer on the block later this month, and expects the handmade computer to fetch between or between $261,000 and $392,000 at Thursday’s exchange rate.
The record price for an Apple I was $640,000, paid last year in an auction also run by Breker of Cologne, Germany.
On May 25, Breker will try to sell a different Apple I, one of only six in working condition, the auctioneer said.
Apple I specs
The Apple I, a circuit board hand built by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, was made in 1976, and sold at the time for $666.66. About 200 units were produced, but by an estimate last year by British auction house Sotheby’s, only 50 survive.
