This past weekend, an incredibly scarce Apple-1 computer, housed in a wooden case, changed hands at an auction for a staggering $475,000 (inclusive of the buyer's premium, roughly equating to 3.378 million yuan). This particular model is a 'Byte Shop' edition, distinguished by its unmistakable wooden exterior. Initially projected to fetch around $300,000, it ultimately commanded a price tag of $475,000 on the day of the auction, marking a nearly 60% surge above its pre-auction estimate.
