As per the report by 9to5Mac, the Cupertino giant first unveiled the Apple I way back in 1976 and was sold for a price tag of $666.66.

The news outlet further reported that the price of the rare classic Apple I in this day and age could even go up to a whopping $1.5 million in eBay auctions.

On top of that, a Wooden Case Apple I Computer bidding began last Nov. 9 with its prices expected to jack up to $600,000.

According to the news story of the Los Angeles Times, the 45-year-old Apple Computer was hand-built by Apple founders, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, themselves in the garage of the latter way back in 1976.

The unit, which is now up for auction, is now dubbed as the "Chaffey College Apple-1," after it was discovered that its first owner turns out to be a Chaffey professor.

However, it is worth noting that the Apple Computer I motherboard that was recently signed by Wozniak himself has yet to be up for auction.
