The draft of an ad penned by Steve Jobs for the Apple-1 computer has just fetched six times more than expected at auction.
Anything Apple and old usually fetches a decent amount at auction, whether it’s one of the company’s first computers from the 1970s, an original iPhone still in its packaging, or even a pre-Apple job application by Steve Jobs, the man who co-founded and later transformed the tech company into one of the most successful businesses on the planet.
Related As ads go, you couldn’t get more simple, with the penned content containing little more than the tech specs of Apple’s first computer. The draft also includes Jobs’ signature in lowercase print, along with his parents’ home address and phone number. The listing notes that Jobs references “basic on the way .” It never materialized for the Apple-1 though came with the Apple II the following year. The late Apple boss concludes by quoting a $75 price for “board only + manual, a real deal.”
