Tech company's first ever computer could sell for as much as N400 million

The site lists the computer as "most unique, and quite possibly the first, Apple-1 ever created" and it has a $500,000 starting bid price on it. That's a lot of money in this economy.

Steve Wozniak, Co-founder of Apple, engineered and hand built the first Apple Computer, the Apple 1.

Apple's first ever computer is going to auction and tech collectors better be prepared to sign mega cheques if they plan to own one.

The 1977 Apple-1 also known as the "first Apple computer" is currently up for auction, according to fundraising site Charitybuzz.

The site lists the computer as "most unique, and quite possibly the first, Apple-1 ever created" and it has a $500,000 starting bid price on it. That's a lot of money in this economy.

The Apple computer is expected to go for as high as $1 million with three days left to bid. I wouldn't be surprised if it even surpasses that target since lesser valued stuff have gone for way more.

Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder who was recently in Nigeria in 2015 for the Access Conference, says "no PCB boards of this type were ever sold to the public", meaning there is something special about this particular unit.

According to the listing on Charitybuzz, "At this time, this is the only known Apple-1 to show the signs of starting out as a blank original-run board and not part of the two known production runs, so this board appears to be unique from all other known Apple-1 boards."

I guess that's all that needs to be said, so if you are an hardcore Apple fan with some millions that you are not using, this is your chance.

Or you could just epp me instead.
