Remember, we told that rare Apple I was put up for auction at Christie's online auction, and it foreshadowed the price of half a million dollars? The projections do not materialize at all ...
The sum was at - the new owner, who wished to remain unrepresented, gave their hard-earned 387 750 dollars (bargaining began with 300 thousand). However, the computer 1976, assembled and signed by Steve Wozniak, was the most expensive of all lots sold through the online platform of the auction house. They say that it "attempted" buyers from 96 countries.
Earlier this year, a fellow Apple I was sold at an auction in Germany already for 671 400 dollars. And it's an impressive progress. Years before Apple I computers, apparently, were not so iconic in 2010, Apple I in the "ideal" state was sold in London at Christie's auction for 174 thousand dollars.
I wonder whether there is a rarity over the years Apple's more expensive? Perhaps those who managed to buy a piece of history, the more it will be able to properly "weld" recoup costs. Or, will bequeath this rarity, which once thanks to the two people born to turn the tide of technological history.
