The koa wood case of the auctioned model was added by a pioneering early Computer retailer, ByteShop, in California, which took delivery of around 50 of The Apple -1 machines.

To help finance The Apple 1 production, Jobs sold his VW Microbus, while Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator for $500.
In 1976, The Machines were sold for $666. 66, reportedly because Wozniak liked repeating numbers.
