Yes, you are right. Sotheby’ auction house sold Apple I, the very first product from Apple. Apple I was invented by Steve Wozniak together with Steve Jobs. In 1976, they were able to produce 200 Apple I after selling the very first Apple I to Palo Alto computer club for $666.66 retail.
Today it is said that only 6 working Apple I are still working efficiently, making it a very rare collector’s item. Two bidders competed to have the machine however, an unexpected anonymous telephone bidder won for the auction. It was sold in the final cost of $375,000 including commission.
