CNN) -- One of Apple's first computers has sold for more than $200,000.
Perhaps the buyer didn't hear about Apple's online sale on Friday?
The Apple-1 computer -- among the first made in a garage by Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak -- sold for about $213,600 at a Christie's auction held in London, England, on Tuesday, according to the company's website.
A private collector named Marco Boglione purchased the machine, according to the Associated Press. The Apple-1 computer came with a typed note from Jobs as well as a box stamped with the company's original logo -- an apple falling on Sir Isaac Newton.
The computer originally sold for $666.66.. . .
