Me too. I have a lot of them, but... not an original Apple II.   I think
they are fairly rare.  I found one in very poor shape that I passed on, and
another that wasn't the earliest revision (should have picked it up anyway),
which I also passed on.  Now I'm not seeing many of the full-sized Apple II
models, just IIc's and IIgs's.
For comparison, I have found two nice Apple ///'s and three IIc+'s in my
searching. Those are fairly rare, but in my experience, not as rare as an
original Apple II.
As far as price, I have no idea.  The nice thing about ebay is if you really
want one, it's there. I waste a lot of time searching.
