A functioning Apple 1 computer, one of the first 200 computers sold by Steve
Jobs and Steve Wozniak, sold for $374,500 including the 12% buyer's
premium at a Sotheby's action in New York. The Apple 1 originally sold for &
#36;666.66. The BBC notes that only about 50 Apple 1's still exist and only
a handful actually work.
Sotheby's said there was a battle between two parties for the item which
also included the original manuals. A set of bids were executed by the
auctioneer on behalf of an absentee collector, but a telephone bidder proved
more persistent and eventually clinched the sale.
