An Apple-1 computer is going to be put up for auction this month, and those who put it up for sale expect to get a lot of money from it. We are talking about a customized Apple-1 that is currently being sold, and its owners expect to sell it for up to 500.000 dollars, a very large amount for such a product.
In the image below you can see what this Apple-1 looks like, with the case painted green, the design being unique. Regarding the hardware, it has 12 KB of RAM memory, that is 3 times more than the initial models, a 1702 memory chip is also integrated, allowing programs to run immediately after starting.
Until now, various models of the Apple-1 have been sold in auctions, and the highest price obtained was 815.000 dollars. This unit will not be the most expensive of all, but even at 500.000 dollars, it will make a person very rich after selling a museum piece, because there is no other utility for such a product.
