Depending on what all is included, I've seen original 128k Macs sell on eBay for $200+ up to $450. Of course, finding one at a thrift shop can usually net one for $20 or less! Personally I would never think to *use* a 128k. The 512k is identical and can actually hold the *whole document* in MacPaint in memory whereas the 128k had to load each screen from the floppy as you scrolled around.
