Belle & Howell Apple II

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.
