Rob,   The 1541 I paid around $250.00USD 
Many years after the 128 came out I was in a Goodwill type store and saw  a two
piece 128.
Keyboard/Computer in ine part and FDD in the other part .
Each part was priced around $300.00USD.
Apparently the folks in the store thought each unit should be priced as much as
a Windows pc.
