Sound cards like the Echo II will fetch a few bucks on their own...
IIc's seem to sell on eBay, but IIe's are a dime a dozen. Smaller items
that can be economically shipped (like cards, 3.5" drives, etc) are the
best bet, whereas monitors are a liability (expensive to ship and really
hard to dispose of legally).
Around here anything other than a thrashed IIe or GS box is a rarity, so
it really depends on your location... example: after almost two years of
thrift-shopping I've yet to come across a monitor or 3.5" drive for the
GS...
