One unnamed buyer, however, just laid that amount out for a single Apple 1 from 1976. Auctioned through a Germany-based Sotheby’s, The New York Times Bits blog notes the price beats out the firm’s $640K record from another unit last November. Interestingly, this current seller refurbished this latest Apple 1 to working condition, after paying only $40K for it privately. We’d be remiss not to mention that the seller also had Steve Wozniak grace it with a signature. You’ll find more info at the source, while we wrap our heads around how this makes last summer’s auction price of $374.5K](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/17/sothebys-apple-i-steve-jobs-atari-note-auction-results/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) look like a relative steal.
