    Here's an even more interesting Apple IIc collectable that popped 
up, with 2 and half days left at auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Apple-IIc-With-Flat-Panel-Display_W0QQitemZ190117630512QQihZ009QQcategoryZ81687QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    It's the Apple Flat Panel LCD display, in like new condition (still 
the original snow white color!) along with original manual. I'd love 
to have one of these but the cost of one at auction is much more 
than I'd be willing to plunk down. It's at US$300 at the moment 
and undoubtedly going to keep rising...

    Which is funny to mention since I just picked up a like-new
condition C-Vue LCD, up here in Canada, three days ago, for
a whopping *$1* (plus $8 postal mail shipping). It was floating
among generic PC parts and junk. :)

    A nice find since the other C-Vue in my collection is terribly
yellowed and I had to build a replacement video cable. This
one looks like it just came off the assembly line, apart from a 
few minor scuffs/scratch on the glass. Can't complain at that
price though. Now if only I could  find the docking stand--both 
my C-Vue LCD's are missing it. I wonder if the guys at GSE
could construct a replacement, I'd certainly order two heh.
