Bidding on Pre-Apple 1 Apple 1 Passes a Quarter-Million Dollars

25 JULY 2022 - That pre-Apple 1 Apple 1 computer that’s up for auction - prices are headed to the stratosphere. I told you about this one last week. It is notable for a couple of reasons - First, it doesn’t work and second - it’s the demo unit that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs used to sell The Byte Shop on the machine, launching Apple toward where it is today.

On Friday, bidding on the machine stood at just under $130,000. Three days later, it’s just above $278,000, with nearly a month to go. The auction ends on Thursday 18 August.
