The lot had only two owners. The first was a university professor of programming. After several years of use, he sold the computer to a student for $ 650. Because of Steve Wozniak's love for beautiful numbers, the new Apple-1 cost $ 666.66. But then no one could even imagine that the cost of the first model would be so high.
In 2013, a similar model was sold for $ 671 thousand, and in 2014 in the United States for $ 905 thousand.
