The prices on ebay for the mouse are unrealistic prices. If you search
ebay for completed auctions where it actually sold, none have been sold
at all.
You can ask $100,000 for it but if no it is willing to pay for it then
it's not really worth $100,000.
If you want thousands of dollars for it, you might be disappointed. i'm
not being disrespectful, i'm just trying to limit your expectations.

I found a Depraz mouse the other day (Type D 83 / P) while going through moving
boxes. I used to - long time ago - make things out of broken or disassembled
computer gear. There was the most amazing store in Dover, NJ called Second Byte
where I spent too much time and money (according to my ex-wife). I purchased
this mouse 30 years ago with no particular project in mind, and it has just
stayed packed away.
I'm looking to sell it but I admittedly don't know what it's worth. I see two
of them on eBay for $20-$30K, but don't see any Sold Items as a reference.
Those sale prices sound largely aspirational.
The mouse is in pretty amazing physical condition, with only basic scuffing on
the red surface. The larger spots you see are reflections. The cable has scuffs
but no fraying at all. The ball turns when the mouse is rolled. No pins are
bent on the connector (RS-232 / DB9?). The three buttons click.
Any insight - or offers - is welcomed.
Thanks.
