The first one you mention had a serial number under 2500 (rev 0).  The second one has a serial number around 30000, and has a rev. 3 or rev. 4 motherboard.

I'd hate to see what one with a single digit or two digit serial number would go for.

I have an Apple ][ plus, serial number A2S2-68931, with a rev. 4 motherboard.  Probably the closest I'll get to owning an early Apple ][, unless I find someone local.
