Wow, I didn't think mine was worth *anything* Using Ebay math, $559.00 at
ending *0.05 == $27.95. Yay! It's worth $28.
Is there a classic computer price list / blue book? Not that I'd sell the
machines I like that are particularly rare. The only boxen I have that are
probably worth anything are:
Data General Nova III - With serial board and disk controller. My oldest
machine.
Mattel Aquarius - Not super rare, but they did stop making them before they
even hit the market
Bell & Howell Apple II - Again, not super rare, but odd enough to be worth
something.
Tandy TRS-1000 - Complete with hard case, modem and tape. Not rare but
popular.
IBM PS/2 Model P70 - Luggable with sweet gas plasma display.
Macintosh Portable - Hehe, at least Apple learns from it's mistakes. First
Apple portable, not including the IIc :)
Apple IIc+ - IIc with 3.5" floppy, faster proc, and built-in power supply.
Only made for a year or so.

At $400 with still time to go for the snipers, and in a slow market.
Just because a pair or group of over-zealous bidders decide to jack up the
price of a turd, it doesn't necessarily mean it's worth that to most or
even any other people.
Bell & Howell Apple ]['s are not rare.
