I would say no more than $10 unless the buyer has no idea what he's
getting.

One word: rubbish. i have a mac with the same model
number. the mac+
had that
signed case and i think all earlier models did too. as
its been said
before,
its only worth as much as someone wants to pay for it.

For sure up until the SE-30, I'm not positive about the Classic and ClassicII.
Minor trivia, the original Mac Portable also has the designers names stamped
in the case.
As far as worth, well i've seen them on ebay go anywhere from $75 to over $200
depending on what ancillary stuff it had (orig docs, packaging, etc). That said,
they are relatively easily available for <$20 (I just picked up two for $15 just an
hour ago).
As was stated earlier, an items worth is determined by how much one is willing
to pay to acquire it.

I know the Mac512k does for sure.

On top of what the seller sees it of value as. If I get an S/36 and don't know what
the
heck it is, I may only ask $20 for it whereas a buyer that knows what it is may be
ready to pay $100 or more (only an analogy, not realistic so don't nail me on this
you
S/3x people).
I had a TRS-80 model 4 that I thought $25 was fair for it and the new owner felt good
about it. A week later I had a person from a Massachusetts drug company call to see if
I had it and if I'd be willing to let it go for $100....seems they still have
something
going at their plant that requires this machine and the upgrade to a newer system is in
the works but not quite done or on budget, so they're stuck with the model 4. Go
figure.
