The saved search feature is handy for anything. If you're looking for something that doesn't show up every day, say, a copy of Spelunx, you'll get an alert when one does show up.

128Ks aren't rare by any means. They only appear so because the Plus, SE, and Classic are pretty much everywhere. In a pallet of old Macs at a warehouse I observed a few years ago, there were two 128Ks in a group of about 30. There were also three 512Ks. The rest was entirely Pluses, SEs, Classics, Classic IIs, and a lone SE/30. (There were more SEs than anything). If the 128K was a rare model, you wouldn't find any in a small pallet. In fact, it's harder to find a II or IIx than a 128K these days. There were at least two or three other 128Ks in the area where this pallet was delivered to (as well as a boatload of Classics, SEs, and Pluses...all of which are newer, were produced longer, and sold in larger volumes to educational institutions, which were the best source for compact Macs for years and were probably where most of these came from).

Speaking of eBay listings, there's a Lisa 1 with several bids on eBay right now. It was $25K last I checked. (I have a boxed Lisa 2 with brochures, office system disks, and the developer's kit...if mine sells for that price, I may as well get myself a new Honda Accord).
