As was noted in a reply to your question, this is probably a Mac IIsi. 
Check http://www.uce.com  to see if that's a fair price.  That's the 'blue
book' site for computers.  Their prices are often used by many folks on
what to ask for systems.  IMHO, that IS a good price for a IIsi, 68030
processor, 30 mhz speed, and can have up to 65 megs ram.  This means that
you can run the next to latest system software (7.6.1) on it, with enough
RAM (rather cheap these days) you can run Netscape and so on...Yeah, I'd
say it's a great price!

BTW, if you are thinking of buying it or have bought it, you can contact
Scantron Quality Computers - 1-800-890-8263 - for a catalog.  We have a
lot of Mac stuff.  I'd recommend an external CD rom for it, since most
programs today come on CD-ROM.  (we have 'em for um...I think $199 for 8
speed )
