Original Apple computer sold for almost $388,000
An original Apple computer from 1976 has sold at auction for nearly US$388,000 (€302,110).
Known as the Apple 1, it was one of the first Apple computers ever built.
It sold at a Christie’s online-only auction. Bolaffi, an Italian collections company, said in a statement that it bought the computer.
The seller was a retired school psychologist from Sacramento, California.
Vintage Apple products have become a hot item since Steve Jobs’ death in October 2011.
Mr Jobs joined forces with Steve Wozniak to build computer prototypes in a California garage, and Mr Wozniak built the Apple 1.
Another Apple 1 was sold in May for a record $671,400 (€522,775) by a German auction house.
