14 DAY TRIAL // An Apple 1 from 1976 is going up for auction at Christie’s next week and they expect to get at least $500,000 (€380,700) on the decades-old device.
One of the first computers ever built by college dropouts Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak is going under the hammer next week and the bidding starts at $300,000 (€228,427), Detroit News reports.
“This is a piece of history that made a difference in the world, it’s where the computer revolution started,” the computer’s owner said.
The computer doesn’t look much like anything you’re used to nowadays from Apple. The green piece of plastic is covered with a grid of memory chips and a bunch of wires.
It was sold for $666 (€507) and only about 200 were made. However, most have disappeared over the decades, while some have been kept safe in wares.
Another Apple 1 was sold last month for $671,400 (€511,220) in Germany, setting up a record for similar auctions.
