thedailyfeed: An original, functioning Apple 1 motherboard sold at auction yesterday for a whopping $374,500 — more than twice what Sotheby’s auction house in New York expected for the rare item. Only 200 Apple 1s, which were hand-built in 1976 by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, were manufactured. Just 50 of the units, originally sold for $666 apiece, are believed to still exist. Sotheby’s claim only six are “known to be in working condition.”
