pretty absurd to me, but I just don't know.

Actually, David Greelish (of "historically
brewed" and the "classic
computing society") is attempting just such an online price guide. His
efforts so far can be seen on:

I don't think he's done much research though as I've seen prices on the
auctions way more than some of his listings and some way under. A C=64 at
$20 is what they normally go for and I've seen $150 and more for one. Yes,
the condition, rarity ann accessories is a consideration. I don't see
anyone paying up to $15000 for a 1977 Apple computer of any model.
