In that "more Mac IIs are circulating", perhaps.  But I doubt that it
implies that there are more Mac IIs, period.  One reasonable explanation
might be that the folks selling Mac IIs are upgrading to IIxs or, more
likely, IIcs or IIcis.  While Apple will let you upgrade a Mac II to a
Mac IIx, that's a pretty expensive upgrade for 15% more speed (being kind)
and the ability to read PS/2 disks.  Unless the used Mac II market gets
saturated, I'll bet it's much better to sell your Mac II and buy a newer
MacII-something.  

One reason I like to have Amigas upgradable via add-ins, where possible,
rather than board swaps.  Of course, you can buy a decent Amiga system
for the price of a Mac II -> Mac IIx upgrade...
