Nostalgic for the days when Apple was just a computer startup and not the Silicon Valley giant it is today? If so, you could own a piece of the tech company's history when one of the original Apple-1 computers goes up for auction.
The device, which will go on sale May 20, is one of just eight known working Apple-1 computers, reported Ars Technica. Auction Team Breker, the auction house behind the sale, estimates the computer will sell for between $190,000 and $320,000. The Apple-1 personal computer originally retailed for $666.66, according to Ars Technica, equivalent to about $2,800 today with inflation.
The vintage device is "the best-preserved example of an Apple I computer to have appeared on the market," Auction Team Breker wrote in the company's newsletter. [The Top 10 Revolutionary Computers] https://www.livescience.com/58347-apple-1-computer-up-for-auction.html
