A 38-year-old Apple-1 that was sold directly to a buyer out of Steve Jobs’ garage — rather than through the iconic Byte Shop — will hit the auction block next month.

The vintage Apple-1 — the first personal computer designed, built and sold by Apple co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs — will be auctioned by Christie’s in New York on Dec. 11. Christie’s has estimated the computer will go for between $400,000 and $600,000.

Other recent auctions of Apple-1 computers have sold for more than those estimates, including $671,000 for one in May 2013 and more recently, a record $905,000 paid two weeks ago by The Henry Ford, a museum in Dearborn, Mich.
