Wozniak himself was present at the auction and added his own signed letter to the winning lot.
The Apple I was invented and designed by Apple executives Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and sold from the garage of Jobs’ parents. In 1976 the Apple I was sold for $ 666.66 (€ 487.76) and only 200 such models were ever made.
