The Apple IIc LCD panel was a cool idea in concept but poorly executed. If
you track one down make sure the display is acceptably bright. I'm
currently selling mine on eBay as the display is too dim to do any real work
with.

price, for nothing else than the color. I picked up a IIc+
not knowing it was the fastest Apple II built, and that to me
makes it sorta collectable. Now if I could find the LCD
display for it, I'd really have something.
The IIc+ had an LCD display? I've got a IIc+ but nothing to run on it it has the 3 1/2" drive instead of the 5
1/4"......any pix or info on the
LCD?

Almost forgot, the early Lisas are commanding
pretty good
prices on e-pay, but that is an exception. The later Lisas
were upgraded to Mac O/S, and they aren't as valuable.
This is the point I chip in with a gnashing-of-teeth-style tale of woe.
Yesterday I picked up a nice condition ][GS with screen/floppies etc from ex-apple dealer, and he told me that he'd thrown
out/skipped/smashed/burned
Mac 128s, Mac 512s, Lisa parts, *hundreds* of Lisa
manuals including
LisaOS
on twiggys, boxes of twiggy disks etc....
5 months ago.
Still, he gave me a Lisa lapel badge so that's ok :-/
Now excuse me while I go off to weep into me beer.....
