I don't see prices of previous auctions. What do these go for roughly?

One went for $440K in 2022 [1], and one that was an Apple owned unit that came from the "office of Steve Jobs" went for $945K last year [2].

Crazy that Apple sold this.

Seems like it belonged to an Apple employee who passed away.

Of the 92 “verified and almost verified” Apple I computers in this registry, 67 are confirmed to be in working condition.

What an amazing labor of love to catalog all these machines. Some of the stories behind each individual machine are amazing.

I remember when Fry's Electronics (was it Palo Alto or Sunnyvale?) had one on display.

Man... tangentially, is there a coffee table book about Fry's yet? I remember in the dot com days they had a lounge pianist there as well as a cafeteria? And also, oddly, adult magazines by the check out lines.

There was a cafeteria as recently as 2018

The Iron Horse cafe! Surprisingly good sandwiches back in the day.

One of them is owned ("almost verified") by Jean-Louis Gassée, former Apple exec, who went on to found Be Inc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Louis_Gass%C3%A9e

Sadly, this registry might be out of date again: entry #43 indicates it is from the now-dismantled Living Computer Museum + Labs.

Gotta be honest, if I saw this sitting next to a dumpster I'd probably think "what is this worthless circuitboard doing here." and then I'd take it to properly e-waste it only to later find out:

"That was worth how much!?"

How much is it worth? I couldn't find any prices on the page.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
