'Steve Jobs buildup is over': Rare Apple 1 gets just $130,000 at sale

A German designer has grabbed a rare working Apple 1 for a flat out take.


A working Apple 1 has sold at sale in Germany for €110,000 ($130,000), or not as much as a large portion of the top offer it was required to get. 

The 40-year-old Apple 1 PC had been pitched to offer for amongst €180,000 and €300 000 ($146,000-$337,000), in accordance with offering costs for other uncommon models sold since the passing of Apple prime supporter Steve Jobs in 2011. 

The completely practical model was sold this end of the week by Auction Team Breker in Cologne, Germany. Group Breker distributed a video in March demonstrating the Apple 1 in real life.

It's one of only eight working models left on the planet and had been in the ownership of Californian programming engineer John J Dryden since he got it in 1976. 

The German architect who now claims it got it at a small amount of the cost other Apple 1 models have sold in the previous five years. One sold for $905,000 at a Bonhams sell off in New York in 2014, while a model Apple 1 sold for $815,000 a year ago. 

Group Breker barker Uwe Breker said the lower than anticipated cost proposed the buildup over Apple memorabilia since Jobs' demise was currently over. Breker sold one at a 2013 closeout for €516,000 ($580,000). 

"From our perspective we're back at ordinary levels. Five years after the demise of [Apple cofounder] Steve Jobs, the buildup has settled back," Breker told AFP.
