Apple fans are usually willing to spend all of their savings just to get the most latest Apple gadget. But what if it's the most ancient one?
Recently, one well-off Apple fan gave up $355,500 for one of the tech powerhouse's oldest pieces — the Apple 1.
Well, yeah that actually happened.
The sale went down at Christie's in New York City.
The computer was originally built by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak 1976 and is one of only 66 still in existence.
It is also the first personal computer sold with a fully assembled motherboard.
Jobs and Wozniak worked nonstop in Job's home after landing a 50-computer order from Byte Shop and also put together extra motherboards to sell to their friends and family.
Around 200 Apple-1 computers were made and the models were originally sold at $666.66.
This particular computer was expected to go for between $300,000 and $500,000 but a lucky buyer got it on the cheap end.
So, you might think twice before getting rid of your Apple item because you never know if it will make you a millionaire someday.
