I remember when Shreve Systems was selling them off NIB for about $20.

They still are quite useful, but you are correct that the combination
of CFFA and CiderPress has certainly made them unnecessary.
I was lucky enough to get one from Shreve Systems for a whopping $50.
They apparently got overstock from Apple or something but never really
advertised that they had them. I thought it was a bargain at the time
for a NIB "rare" card. The few that popped up on ebay back then were
going for a mere $100. I found it useful at the time, it saved me from
having to setup my Localtalk network or using a Mac as a "slave" to
transfer stuff to 800k disks. I guess I won't get into how I snagged a
TWGS with 32k cache for $25 or a VOC for $40...;)
$25!!! lol I won't mention i picked up 2 x ZIP GSX cards for about
$40 (about 6 years ago mind) ;-)...ok so not not as a good as TWGS ;-)
