Apple-1 'Byte Shop' computer hand-numbered by Steve Jobs is up for sale at $240,000
A fully-functional Apple 1 computer has gone up for sale – and could be yours if you have a spare $241,000 (£196,000) lying around. The'amazing' machine, which is hand-numbered by Apple founder Steve Jobs, comes with'all components and accessories required for operation'. Bidding currently stands at $241,557 and ends on December 15 – but auctioneers are anticipating a final selling price of $375,000 (£305,000). Launched in 1976, Apple 1, the tech giant's first ever product, was sold as an assembled circuit board and lacked basic features such as a keyboard or monitor. The original Apple-1 board (pictured) is marked in the hand of Steve Jobs with stock number '01-00002' Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak made the Apple-1 computer in 1976 and presented it at a computer club in Palo Alto, although there were few takers. Paul Terrell, owner of retail chain called The Byte Shop, placed an order for 50 Apple-1s and sold them for $666.66 (£420) retail - once Wozniak and Jobs agreed to assemble the circuit boards rather than offer them as kits.
