Apple II is the original (1988), DOS is 88-89. I'm not sure about C-64.
But I've seen a lot of games go for a lot one day, then go for near-nothing.
You never know.

Really? I found a shrinkwrapped John Madden Football (but for the C64)
for $3 a little over a year ago on a clearance rack. Couldn't sell it
for $5. Are you referencing a particular platform?

I've found Micro League baseball to be very common ( have about 6 for
various platforms), but Micro League Baseball II is relatively
rare...that might have something to do with the price (but I'd never pay
near that much for it).
I've found the original John Madden Football (from 88/89) to fetch a
decent price as well (but not nearly that much).

The Micro League series was a hit (no pun intended) in the early days
because they were pure statistical simulations -- like "fantasy
football" but for more than just football -- and they were very
thorough.
The baseball series in particular was updated by several yearly update
disks with complete team rosters. It was a mandatory thing to own if
you were a baseball fan and used computers, kind of like how XOR
Corporation's NFL Challenge was a mandatory software title for anyone
into fantasy football.
Useless detective work: The seller uses webtv, so he's probably an
older retired guy getting around to selling his stuff. The buyers were
half new, half experienced. Based on their previous purchases, they are
all sports fans primarily and computer users secondary (more likely, a
distant third :). Maybe that helps understand the high price -- some
baseball fan out there was a big fan of (some team) in (some year) and
wanted to simulate fantasy baseball using something universally known to
do it well. (I knew those psychology classes would come in handy :)
