The auction also included the $600 check Ricketts used to purchase the computer and a second $193 check he gave Jobs to program software for the Apple 1.
The seller, Bob Luther, told Computer World the final selling price "was a little disappointing," but still a hefty profit from the $7,600 he paid for the machine at a sheriff's sale in 2004.
