I thought this was pretty cool, MacRumors is reporting that a working model of the Apple-1 has sold at auction for $375,000. It is reported as number 91 in the Apple-1 Database–which tracks the known remaining units of the machine out in the wild. As for why it went for so much?
Well, it’s rare, but MacRumors also notes:
The Bayville Apple-1 was part of the first batch of Apple-1 machines sold in 1976, and it has a handwritten serial number that was likely penned by Steve Jobs. It was sold with an original manual with a handwritten note by Daniel Kottke, who was Apple employee number 12.
Neat bit of history!
