[rescue] What would you pay for a Type 5 keyboard?

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic and would like to acquire a Type 5 keyboard + mouse, build a converter (https://github.com/xelalexv/suniversal should work, since I've already got Arduino boards lying around), and use it on my desktop. My editor (acme) makes heavy use of all 3 mouse buttons, so the Sun mouse should be ideal, and of course I love a proper Unix layout keyboard.
A quick look at ebay shows that used ones seem to be in the 75-100 dollar range sans mouse, and the one provider of NOS sets I found is doing the dumb $100 + $70 shipping game... Is this one of those cases where I need to just watch ebay until a good deal comes up, or am I unlikely to ever find one for less?
Thanks,
John
