According to the auction company, the "Chaffey College Apple-1" is estimated at $400,000 to $600,000. The auction company said the computer--which is now owned by a student of the professor who originally purchased the Apple-1--was purchased in 1977 by the student for $650 when the professor upgraded to an Apple-II.
