ONE OF APPLE’S VERY FIRST COMPUTERS FETCHES RECORD-BREAKING $905,000 AT AUCTION



If you think Apple’s new 5K iMac is pricey at $2500, wait till you hear how much one of its first PCs sold for this week.
At an auction at Bonhams in New York on Wednesday, one of the tech giant’s few remaining Apple-1 machines fetched a whopping $905,000, around double the amount seller John Anderson of the Cincinnati-based AppleSiders Apple user group had been expecting. The sale also set a new record for the price paid for an Apple-1, of which only only 200 were made. The previous record was set at an auction in Germany last year when the same model fetched $671,400.
