There is an IBM 5100 on eBay right now:

In 2018 I saw a BASIC model sell for $2500. I’ve seen a working APL model sell for $6150
in 2021.
I’ve been keeping track of Lisa 1 sales on eBay for some years. I take a screenshot of
the finished auction and also save all of the photos. They sell for a lot, and I wonder
if they will one day be priced like Apple 1 computers? I remember when Apple 1 computers
were going for $10K - $20K, and now they go for the price of a house.
Twiggy drives only:
Mar 14, 2017 : $32,100.52
Face plate only :
Mar 14, 2017 : $4,602
Complete Lisa 1 system:
Apr 25, 2017 : $99,500
May 11, 2017 : $55,300
Jan 14, 208 : $56,100
Mar 25, 2018 : $55,300
Nov 11, 2018 : $65,000 (did not sell, later marked as “no longer available”)
Sep 7, 2019 : $43,900

I think there's a rather large disparity in value between the two systems.
I'm not sure what an IBM 5100 would go for these days, but a Lisa 1 will
generally sell in the $10K+ range minimum these days.
I had two Lisa's with Twiggy drives: one I sold for $9,600, and the other
for $14,500. That was over 8 years ago.
