ROSEVILLE, CA- It's been called the Holy Grail of vintage computers and a local man has one for sale.
But Jesse Sackman knows it's also a collectors item and he wants $50,000 dollars for his model on Ebay.
"It's a museum piece and in demand all over the world," said Sackman.
Sackman says he's selling his Apple-1 with its original packing for financial reasons.
"I hate that I have to, it's very hard for me," said Sackman.
The computer even comes with a typed letter from Steve Jobs to the original buyer of the Apple-1 who wanted his money back because it didn't come with a keyboard or monitor. In the letter, Jobs explains to the buyer how to connect it.
Ebay bidding ends Sunday. So far there are no online bids on the computer.
