A woman took a trip to a recycling company in South Bay, and with them, she had a number objects.
Screwed together by Wozniak
objects she had brought from his house after her husband died. But not all that she brought with them were equally likely to be delivered to the dump.
Right in the heap of ancient artifacts, found it somewhat quite so valuable – an Apple 1
This machine there are only around 200 of the world, and it was personally screwed together by Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, men who along with Steve Jobs founded Apple.
Sold to private collection
firm has a policy which states that the sum of resale shall be divided in two parts – the one that delivered the item, and the firm itself.
As the Apple 1 computer sold for $ 200,000 to a private collection (1.5 million Norwegian kroner), the woman who delivered it really have 100,000 kroner.
The only problem was that the woman had no idea that the machine was worth so much.
– She said, “I will get rid of these things and clean my garage.” I said, “Do you need a receipt?”. “No, I need nothing,” replied the woman.
Must have 100,000
When the company discovered that the woman had delivered an Apple 1 computer, they got a big surprise.
– We want to find her so we can give her $ 100,000, says the company’s second chief, Victor Gichun, according to local newspaper Mercury News.
The only woman needs to do to get money, to meet up with the firm.
– I remember her. If I see her, I know it’s her, says Gichun.
