I put in a bid 10 minutes before the end.  (Yes, it's sniping.  No, I'm not
pissed that I was outbid.  It would be kinda nice to have a IIc+, but with a
"stealth IIGS," IIe, and II+ in the "collection" already, I'm not hurting
for examples of Apple IIs.)  The price stayed under $30 (and I remained the
high bidder) until maybe two minutes before the end.  A bidding war broke
out and it ended up finishing at over $75!

This IIc+ is already up to $40 with 3 days remaining:
