A rare Apple-1 computer prototype has been sold at auction for $677,196, nearly a thousand times its original price. This was reported by PCmag.
It was noted that only about 200 Apple-1 computers were released, initially priced at $666. But the model for sale is particularly unique because it’s a prototype, since it’s the one Apple co-founder Steve Jobs used as a demonstrator in 1976.
According to RR Auction, the prototype sat in the garage of Jobs’ home for years. Unfortunately, part of the circuit board was damaged, leaving the Sprague Atom capacitors missing.
The Apple-1 prototype auction began last month, with bids starting at up to $200,000. However, RR Auction predicted that at least $500,000 would eventually be offered for the computer, making it closer to the final bid.
