I don't think you can make sensible prediction. Look Apple I prices.
The last documented sale was 2010 and $30k. I would say its desirable, so if
two people fight who knows what it might get too.
On the other hand, if only one person bids it could flop. I think this is
highly unlikely....

Anyone want to guess what the Xerox Alto will (should) sell for?

Although you
wouldn't get the Strobe Data sticker.
I would not take those Christie's estimates all that seriously. They much about computers; no reason to believe those
numbers have much
connection to reality.
