   I didn't get them directly from the school, but I did run across almost a
hundred of the Apple II Memory Expansion boards (I sold a bunch on ebay.. 
Still have some left.), fifty of the 256k Expansion kits, ImageWriter II
Appletalk cards, extended 80 column, DuoDisk controllers, Super Serial cards,
etc... All brand new in the boxes.  What possessed the schoold district to
order all this stuff, and never use it was beyond me.  And yes, I would never
consider any Apple //e's or IIgs's unless they had some good cards in them.

   I had bought a bunch of composite color monitors from a guy, sight unseen,
and it was amazing how many of them had bad phosphor burn, and missing parts. 
I learned a lesson on that batch.  I wound up throwing them all away.
