Wow--I'm glad to see your keyboard has lower case!  (Please use it
for most things.  ;-)  For a while, I thought you were dialing in
with the MicroModem and typing on the Apple II.  ;-)

An early model Apple II in good condition would likely bring a few
hundred dollars, though the market is pretty volatile (depending on
who's bidding, mostly).

Since most of the value is as a "collectible" (the Apple II is not
functionally more useful than the much less expensive ][+ or //e),
if you can find the original box, it would probably be well worth
your trouble--but only if you are thinking of selling it.
