They're very rare, I recall one going on eBay (a boxed one) going for a
whisker under £400! There were a couple at school and yes, just before
the
Master came out. These B+128s were the standard Model B replacement, you
couldn't get new Model B's anymore by then. I would imagine that the B+
was
also looking at retirement at that point too.
