How much are you willing to pay? I have genuine MAC 128K ROMs (4 sets) that I
wouldn't mind NOW that Apple has scooped everyone's supply.

How about US$250.00 (just ROMs)? :-)

     I'm looking for an used AMAX II package (with the ROMs) or for the 
Macintosh 128K ROMs alone if someone wants to sell them.

     If interested, please contact me by e-mail to the address below.

That is getting pretty close to the cost of a Mac 512ke (128k ROMs) on the
used market.  If I were in the market for said ROMs, I'd run an ad in the local
paper for broken Mac 512kes and Mac Pluses.

 Whoa!  Before anybody pays another inflated cent for these black-market
critters, they should be aware that there is a very nice (though rather
illegal) way to emulate a Mac without Mac ROMs, or even with AMax.
Some crafty hackers have put the ROMs and necessary progs on a disk,
which doesn't quite run on a 3000 (at the moment) but runs fine anywhere
else.  Ask your friendly neighborhood hacker.
