I got an Apple ADB mouse, model A9M0331, delivered today. Aside from the expected yellowing (and some ink marks on the cord I haven't gotten off yet), it is in really good condition.
Except inside. The rollers in these were made of stainless steel (I believe). I took the bottom cover off to clean the gunk off the rollers and, when I did, I found the gunk had caused some rust to form beneath it which I have to say is kind of a bummer. I'll have to take it apart and remove them to see if I can get the rust off and hope it's not too deep.
I guess maybe cost isn't the only reason they later switched to plastic rollers.
