One of the 200 original Apple-1 computers, hand-built by Steve Wozniak and sold by Steve Jobs from his garage in 1976, is going up for auction at Christie's in London on November 23.
Originally sold for $666.66, the Apple-1 is expected to fetch between $161,600 and $242,400, which once again proves that it sometimes pays to be an early adopter, and -- perhaps even more importantly -- not to throw away "that old piece of junk," even if your garage is a mess.
For the money, the buyer will be getting an Apple-1 motherboard, 8K bytes of RAM and a couple capacitors, connectors and interfaces. The original shipping box and some extras, such as the original manual, an invoice with the salesman named "Steven" and a typed letter from Steve Jobs to the original owner, is also included.
