The prices on ebay for the mouse are unrealistic prices. If you search
ebay for completed auctions where it actually sold, none have been sold
at all.
You can ask $100,000 for it but if no it is willing to pay for it then
it's not really worth $100,000.
If you want thousands of dollars for it, you might be disappointed. i'm
not being disrespectful, i'm just trying to limit your expectations.

I found a Depraz mouse the other day (Type D 83 / P)
while going through moving boxes. I used to - long time ago - make things out of broken or
disassembled computer gear. There was the most amazing store in Dover, NJ called Second
Byte where I spent too much time and money (according to my ex-wife). I purchased this
mouse 30 years ago with no particular project in mind, and it has just stayed packed away.
I'm looking to sell it but I admittedly don't know what it's worth. I see two
of them on eBay for $20-$30K, but don't see any Sold Items as a reference. Those sale
prices sound largely aspirational.
The mouse is in pretty amazing physical condition, with only basic scuffing on the red
surface. The larger spots you see are reflections. The cable has scuffs but no fraying at
all. The ball turns when the mouse is rolled. No pins are bent on the connector (RS-232 /
DB9?). The three buttons click.
Any insight - or offers - is welcomed.
Thanks.
