Apple I Sale

Toward the end of June I posted on an upcoming sale from Christie's online division of a tech sale which included a 1976 Apple 1 computer, with a later signature of inventor Steve Wozniak.  Click HERE to view the original AW post.

The online sale recently concluded and the Apple 1 sold for $387,750.  The Apple 1 was expected to bring over $500,000, and the record for an Apple 1 at auction is $671,000.  I wonder if the values are falling as more of these machines are being discovered and auctioned.

Christie's reports on the sale

New York/London/Paris/Hong Kong – An original Apple computer, now known as the Apple-1, sold for $387,750 at Christie’s auction of vintage tech products, making it the highest priced item to ever be sold through Christie’s new online-only platform.  The Apple-1, one of the first 25 Apple-1’s ever assembled, inscribed with the serial number 01-0025 in black ink was designed and hand-built in 1976 by Steve Wozniak, who later signed his work “Woz.” Christie’s saw traffic to the First Bytes online-only sale page from 96 countries with 77% of the viewers new to Christie’s.
