I sold my Apple IIGS around the year 2000 for $600 on eBay. Buyer spent an additional $600 for shipping from Canada to California. The buyer was getting it as a gift for a friend who was retiring from Apple and worked on the Apple IIGS.

A quick scan of eBay today is showing $1,200 to $1,800 for an complete functioning Apple IIGS. If he has 1,100 computers, I can see him getting to $23,000-35,000 pretty easily.

Very interesting. I have three complete ][gs "Woz" editions sitting in storage somewhere, that I rescued from a school computer lab where they were being thrown out in ~2004. I also snagged the Macintosh that was used as the server for the network, and all the backup media that I could find. There's a copy of Oregon Trail in there somewhere, that I played in school :)

Maybe I should find them...
