A fully functional Apple-1 computer that was hand-numbered by Steve Jobs sold for $442,118 at an auction this month.
It is thought that only 60 to 70 Apple-1 computers are left, making them the ultimate collector's item for Apple fans. The #78 Apple-1 that was sold was restored to a working state in the summer of 2018).
It came with the original Apple Cassette Interface, original operation manual, a surplus keyboard from the same time period, and an open frame Sanyo 4 205 monitor.
Depending on the machine's history and condition, Apple-1 computers have sold for as much as $815,000. The "Celebration" Apple-1 is a blank green PCB board that was not sold to the public and was not part of a production run.
A Steve Jobs-signed NeXT brochure, an early production 1988 NeXT computer, and a Tim Cook-signed football were all sold by the same auction site.
