Online auctions will open on December 10 and close on the 17th. In this time frame, very wealthy technology enthusiasts will be able to spend huge sums on what is one of the last six Apple-1 models still functional. . As a bonus, this model auctioned by RR Auctions is signed by the hand of Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple.
The computer was the very first to be released as an Apple product in April 1976, so 44 years ago. Designed by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, it is the very first computer from the Apple brand.
When it was released in the mid-1970s, the Apple-1 was worth $666, which, taking into account inflation, would be worth just over €2,000 today. The computer was only produced in 200 copies until 1977 when it was replaced by the Apple-II.

It is therefore with this jewel of vintage technology that the company RR Auctions is organizing an auction during the month of December. In addition to this exceptional computer, several iconic objects from Apple's history should sell for a high price.
Among them, a keyboard, also signed by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, which should go for, according to initial estimates, around $30,000.
In more affordable budgets, the auction house is auctioning a poster of the Apple-II as well as Steve Jobs' business card. These two products should be sold for less than $1,000 each.
