Keep an eye on www.trademe.co.nz, in the vintage computer section. In
the last few months I've seen 2 apple IIgs's and an Apple IIe go on
there, I think the GS's went for less than $30NZ and the IIe $20NZ or
so (both were complete working systems with monitors/drives etc, and I
think the IIe even came with a printer!).
