My Rev 4 has an Apple Rev 4 board in it. Basically I tossed the clone board and PSU and
replaced with what should be the correct motherboard (w/integer basic ROMs) and I think
PSU. PSU seems to be a matter of debate, some have suggested to me it should be the
silver A2M, others said it should be the gold 2+ style one I have in there now. Not sure
on that. The keyboard is the original for sure, but I had to do some trace repair on it
using short jumper wires.

Subject: Re: Apple II Rev 2 value?
Well your rev-4 setup isn't going to be worth top dollar because of the condition and
clone motherboard, you don't mention if it's the original datanetics keyboard and
if the powersupply is the original one. Infact it may only be worth a couple of hundred
dollars or less.
Basically the answers to those questions determine if you are simply selling a case or a
case with extras. Notice I didn't say you are selling a Rev4 Apple II because the
motherboard is missing.
Also depending on the hole that was drilled also that can impact the value a lot for a
case since people looking for a case want a good condition one.
Answer those questions and we will give you a good idea.
As for the Rev 2. In the condition explained I'd expect maybe 2k. btw. Rev 0 are
going for more 3k if they are in complete condition. Most aren't. They tend to have
replacement parts like supply or keyboard. If the motherboard is replaced they are just a
case.
Also with anything timing is important, if a person is looking at the time, they may spend
more than if no one is looking at that specific time. I have seen eBay auctions sometimes
too late and kicked my self how low something went for. You just never know.
Cheers,

I have a rev 4 Apple II in the 38000 s/n range. I'm hoping to, over
the years, gradually trade my way up to a Rev 0. I've seen Rev 0
units go on ebay recently for around $3000ish. Below that seems to be
a jumble, mostly to do with completeness, originality, etc. Although,
no always. Some have had motherboards upgraded to newer versions and still gone for
$2500.
Anyway, I'm looking to move up. My questions (and I realize this is
all
opinion):
1) What would my Apple II rev 4 be worth? Again it's serial number is
in the 38000 range, black label. It was in France and had its
original board replaced with a clone board, and some customization
including a small switch for power that was drilled into the back of
the case was done. I have installed a Rev 4 board with Integer Basic
chips. I also did some repairs on the keyboard and it is fully
functional, but the repairs involved a couple of jumper wires to deal with bad traces.
2) What would you be willing to pay for a 12000 range s/n Rev 2 that is
in so/so condition, some rusty chip legs and non-functional keyboard?
Is a Rev 2 anything special?
Thanks!
