Sounds to me like you are in the market for a Vic-20 computer. 
Or........  You might even be able to afford a used HP-28 pocket calculator..
Or........  About 200 pounds of real (edible for those who dont know what
            fruit is) apples..

Better expect to pay more than that for a IIe.  Apple still makes 'em new for
what--$800?  Used ones could easily get $400--that's just for the box, not for
disk drives or anything (it is for 128K, though).

That sounds unnecessarily harsh...  I just spent $300 on an Apple //e
system with 128K DHRG-capable 80 column card, Apple /// mono monitor,
four 5.25 drives, 300 baud internal modem, AE Z-80 card, a serial Grappler
printer card, 2 parallel printer Grappler cards and a dot matrix parallel
printer that is compatible with the graphics firmware on the Grappler cards.
Plus all the software that the guy had for it (Wizardry, Battlechess, etc).

According to my local Apple dealer, $200 is high for a 128K Apple //e
unless the deal includes a few peripherals (in addition to the understood
5.25 floppy and interface card).

Let's just say you got a very good, once-in-a-lifetime-type of deal.  I
wouldn't let my IIe go for a piddling $200-$300.  (128K enhanced, with a
DuoDisk, Monitor II, Imagewriter, and AE DataLink 2400, if you're wondering
what I have.)  Then again, if I got another computer (can you say "IIGS?"), I'd
probably hang onto the IIe and set it up as a BBS.
