Here are some price approximations (based on what they go for in germany, in the UK and especially in the US you will have to pay more for it):

Blizzard 1220 28 MHz with 4 MB 20-30 EUR
Blizzard 1230 50 MHz IV 50-80 EUR
Blizzard 1240 25 MHz 100-120 EUR
Blizzard 1260 50 MHz 180-250 EUR

M-Tec EC030 28 MHz max 8 MB 30-50 EUR
Ram-only expansion with RTC (various) about 10-20 EUR

The Typhoon will probably got for over 50 EUR
The Apollo 1220 seems a little overpriced for me. 20-30 EUR would be OK.

Not really interesting, but it`s there.

Well its funny you should mention the Apollo being overpriced as I offered £20 (~30 EUR) for it and they declined. Stupidly it doesnt even let me make a second offer


Well only because I think it is overpriced doesn`t mean the rest of the world, especially the seller, has to agree with it ;-) . There is allways someone, clueless, desperate or wealthy enought to pay more then the common price.

although I cant see a point in 4MB RAM anyway - anything less than about 16MB seems pointless.

All RAM-only cards, 020 cards and some of the cheaper 030 cards are limited to 8 MB maximum, because that is the amount of Fast-RAM a bare A1200 can adress by itself. For more RAM there is some logic needed on the acceleratorcard. The cheaper ones lack this for cost reasons.
Higher price accelerators like the better 030 and all 040/060 can handle either 32/64 (Apollos with one/two RAM-sockets) or 128 MB (Blizzards)
