The last one sold by this vendor is here:
Apple 1 - The ORIGINAL Apple Computer (#160413355114) US $42,766.00
Buyer: Member id randomz3 Mar-30-10 20:16
He also is selling an Imsai purported to be one used early on for
internal work free of timeshare work if you look at the other auctions.
You can get his whole history from his 45 feedback score link, seems to
have sold a lot of artifacts, and some junk.
I Don't know what Sotheby's brings to the table as far as their
provenance, they know 200 million paintings, but most of the time when I
hear their "experts" on things like this (other than maybe specifically
the Apple 1 now) they sound clueless.
This one comes with a signed note from Wozniak saying it is an Apple 1,
who do you want to certify it? A schmuck at Sotheby's or Steve?
For most items computer if they were worth serious money and really
needed such I'd far rather post here and invite your opinion than an
auction houses. They only have credibility based on their track record,
and overpricing and getting $100k for one Apple 1 isn't a real track record.

That one at
Sotheby's was complete with quite a bit of manuals and paperwork.
Anything with less is going to be quite a bit less in value. I'd be surprised
to see, a board only, go for much over $100K.
I understand to one at Sotheby now has some of the paper work.
More importantly,
the one at Sotheby's has provenance from Sotheby's.
