Why such a price tag? Because it is a rare piece, an Apple-1 computer numbered by the hand of Steve Jobs himself. This is the 78th copy of only 200 produced by the ex-CEO of Apple and his sidekick Steve Wozniak from 1976.

In addition to its historical character, which should be of interest to any fan of history and technology, the PC offered for sale has been restored by Corey Cohen, an expert in the restoration of electronic devices. Thanks to his work, the machine is to this day functionally functional. The defective technician also rated the condition of the beast at 8.5 on a scale of 0 to 10, 10 being new or near condition, 0 being the worst state of wear.
