Well I got a ROM 01 box for $10 last fall. Also got a complete signature
edition system with ROM 0, a monitor, and a drive of each kind for $80 at
a used computer store around that time. So it totally depends on where you 
look.

Maybe at Sun Remarketing or something, the people who sell //e logic boards
for $200 plus. But if you find a school dumping stuff, you could get some 
stuff pretty cheaply. When you can buy a Quadra box for $400, it would be
hard to imagine the average computer buyer spending that amount on a IIgs.

Followups set to csa2 only since I don't expect that anyone else wants to see 
the normal amount of BS that a thread like this generates.
