Apple’s Rare First Batch Apple-1 Computer Auctioned for Over $250,000 and Bidding Ends on May 21
Since the Apple-1 computers are rare, it is not surprising the devices fetched high prices at auction. The current unit on sale features a handwritten serial number by Steve Jobs. It is the first batch and the only unit in the registry to boast a handwritten serial number, according to the website. In addition to this, one of Apple’s first employees, Daniel Kottke has verified that the Apple-1 computer is in a working state. Other than the unit itself, the Apple-1 computer comes with a power supply and other relevant components which includes a Sanyo VM-4509 monitor with a Dantanetics keyboard. It also comes with a modern cassette interface, cords, and the reproduction of the operational manual signed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Ronal Wayne. As mentioned earlier, the Apple-1 will sell for over $250,000. The auction is live and will end on May 21. This is all there is to it, folks.
