Well, it reached $180ish last time and hadn't met reserve. I'm picking he's wanting $200. I didn't accept his $180 fixed price offer last time as I'd had a chance to think about the combined value of the items (and freight) I've bought from him since the auction closed.
One confusing part is that his picture shows the bog-standard ROM01 256k upgrade memory card that (a) he doesn't list as being part of the auction and (b) I already have in my possession from his
previous bits and pieces auction, so I'm not real clear if this has 256k or 512k.
But assuming it's only a ROM01 with the minimum amount of 256k RAM, (not a "Woz Edition" ROM0, or the more useful 1MB ROM03) and accepting it as not having a
working RGB monitor, I'm willing to guess it's worth to be about the same as a working IIe... It's pretty yellowed, so I feel a $150 offer is not insulting.
UPDATE: The offer was accepted, although for some reason he still put it through trademe. Odd. I would have concluded the trade directly rather than pay a success fee for a trader I've already dealt with.
UPDATE2: Heh. The monitor is indeed dead. Andrew replaced some capacitors and it no longer goes at all.

Did you get this in the end?
"dsakey" on trademe. Apple II's are my thing.
