eBay is OK for some things (snagged an Atari 2600 and some games fairly
cheap not long ago, plus an IBM keyboard to take in to work), but Apple II
stuff is usually bid up to outrageous levels.  It looks like a
run-of-the-mill ROM 01 with 1.25 megs (if you're lucky) and an unspecified
soundcard.  Bidding is up to $240 right now, which is ridiculous.  I bought
a Quadra 610 off of eBay for a little over a tenth of that (now if I can
just get my GS to talk to the netatalk server through it...).
