Depends on the model, how it is configured, and where you look.

IIe units and earlier get thrown around for next to nothing.  Bare
IIGS units float around starting from low to mid double digits (with
standard peripherals).  But most people discover that if you really
want to get a IIGS up and running, you need to plug memory and
a hard drive in it.  Thus, loaded IIGS units are worth a little more
OR you can get the bare unit and load it yourself.  A few weeks
ago, someone on comp.sys.apple2.marketplace was offering to
trade a Newton for a IIGS hard drive before I convinced him that
it was a bad trade since you can get a Focus hard drive from
Alltech for $59.  He got the hard drive.  My impression was that
if he bought the IIGS with the hard drive, he would have paid
the price he got for the bare unit PLUS the amount he eventually
paid getting a hard drive.  ;-)
