Prices for 256Kx9 SIMM should be about $20.00
Prices for 1MBx9 SIMM should be about $45.00
These are prices for 80ns parts.  I've seen the 1MBx9 for as little as
$39.00 recently.

Check PCWeek,  MacWeek, Computer Shopper, etc. You'll find some.
Happy shopping and don't pay overly high prices for RAM.  RAM is cheap.
