Recently, in an auction that took place in Germany, was an old and functional topped computer Apple -1. The final amount offered was of no less than $ 671,000 dollars. This Apple-1, which was originally produced in 1976, nearly doubled the previous record price for a sale of the PC model. Great buyer, a very rich person from the Far East as indicated, has not yet been identified despite the size of the purchase.
The owner of this Apple-1 was Fred Hatfield, retired electrical engineer who a couple of months the team managed to sell $ 40,000. Note that the computer was not working at that time, but has been repaired and put into operation for the occasion. Who bought the team from Hatfield also had to purchase separately several original accessory to get it running again. Once started working again, was transferred to California for the co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, put his signature on it, which increased considerably the final value.
It is quite normal that occasionally some old Apple device is placed on any auction, whether physical or online, although prices are never lower than $ 100,000.
