Yeah, it's more than a mac+, but seeing as how sun 3/50's old and obsolete
(they ran around 16 mhz with a 68020 with a pmmu to run sunOS), I doubt that
you can get them other than used... I believe that the Sun 3/80's are the
current models of the Sun 3 low-end line.  Keith, a 12-mips SPARCStation 1
goes for around $6500 educational discount... I should hope that a Sun 3/80
is considerably less.
