One went the other week for just under 8000Y, which puts 56 bucks for a cable and a floppy disk into context.

The only real problem with them is they're pretty much only good for internet bragging rights. The software catalogue is dreadful (and a lot of the titles can run fine on regular PowerMacs). So my interest extends purely to the AppleJack controller
