My apple collection consists on a IIgs ROM 1 with Apple scsi card, IIfx,
840AV, Quadra 950 with AWS card, and a couple powermacs (7500,8500) with all
kinds of add-ons and upgrades.
The only other high value Apple product other then the Apple I would
probably be the original Lisa with twiggy drive. The original Ultima and the
first non ultima title (Alkebath or something like that) command a few
hundred dollars a pop in good condition for the Apple II. High speed SCSI
cards for the apple II series generally go for $75 or more on ebay all the
time, with processor accelerators going for much more. Basically most of the
stuff for the Apple II that wasn't in a stock configuration is worth
keeping, but wont be worth a mint either.
