Items that bear the signatures of world-famous names or belong to them can turn into jewelry over time. These items often belong to the founders of big companies. Finally, a check given by Steve Jobs, co-founder of the technology giant Apple, found a buyer for tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
Steve Jobs’ check found a buyer for tens of thousands of dollars at auction! Here’s the story
According to the information, about 4 months after the founding of Apple, Steve Jobs gave this check to RadioShack, an electronics store, to buy the materials the company needed. The value of this check was 4.01 dollars.
It is unclear exactly for which product Jobs made this $4.01 payment. However, this expenditure was probably related to a hardware part of Apple’s first computer. Because at that time, the company was in the process of developing its first computer.
When we examine the check, we see that it dates back to 1976, so it is about 50 years old. ‘Apple Computer Company’ is written on it. Moreover, the address is the address of Jobs’ home (770 Welch Rd #154, Palo Alto, CA 94304, United States of America). There is also Steve Jobs’ name written in his handwriting. So how much was this check sold for?
Steve Jobs’ check to RadioShack, which was recently offered for sale at the RR Auction House, found a buyer for 46 thousand 63 dollars with the last bid. The starting price was 22 thousand dollars. Apple-related sales have been realized at this auction house before.
In an auction held last year, a pair of “used but not worn out” brown slippers said to have been worn by Steve Jobs in the 1970s and 1980s was sold for 218 thousand dollars. Even Jobs’ footprint was visible on this pair of Birkenstocks.
