Apple II's (plain old II's, not IIplus, II, IIe, or IIc) can go for a couple
to several hundred dollars if they are in very good condition.  If you have
unusual expansion cards (hard drive controllers, accelerators) they can
fetch some good money.  But I would bet that you could get more by selling
the software in lots of 20-25 disks as well as any books/magazines, than you
could by selling the hardware.  Sad, but true.  :(
