If in excellent condition, these units can fetch $100+ on Ebay. I've been
collecting Apple ][ & /// computers for over three years now, and I have
yet to see one "in the wild" or see a decent one sold online for a
reasonable price. They are very sought after machines in the vintage Apple
market. While their "absolute scarcity" may not be that high (in the
technical meaning of the term), I can personally attest to their "relative
scarcity."
If you have a nice one to sell, I have some nice cash.

There are certainly fewer B&H Apple IIs than normal ones, and as we
all know, black computers are faster :-), but I don't think it's

Not particularly rare, but of interest. I sold one on ebay a few months
back for
$40,
that simply powered on (didn't know if it actually worked) and had two keys
missing!
But even if they sold 100 to 1 compared to their regular Apple II conterparts,
they wouldn't
be rare.
BTW, the guy I sold it to was into restoring old Apple computers.
