Probably bought by a time traveller who NEEDS a functioning Apple 1 to save their world

- yohui 14y agoHow much would an IBM 5100 in similar, functioning condition be worth, actually? I imagine the fascination with Apple alone would be enough to spark interest in the Apple 1, but is there mich of a collector's market for old computing antiques in general?
- mattgrice 14y agoNot nearly as much, I imagine. The 5100 was sold for 7 years and cost $8,975. I imagine there were thousands made, and nearly all were sold to corporations. One sold on ebay for $3400. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXQHacn3M34 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXQHacn3M34 There were only 200 Apple I computers ever made. It is much more rare and significant to the history of personal (home and hobbyist) computing.
