A rare Apple-1 computer – the first ever made by company – has sold at auction for $210,700.
We wrote about this a while ago, and the sale of computer has drawn quite a bit of interest on the web.
The sale price was handily above the $160,000 minimum that Christie’s had predicted for the computer.
Only about 200 of the Apple-1 computers were produced, beginning in 1976. This one is unique in that it retains the original shipping box as well as a letter to the buyer from Steve Jobs.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak attended the auction and gave the winning bidder an autographed letter.
The new owner is Italian businessman and private collector Marco Boglion.
