So put the thing up on eBay. That will get you the top price you could expect.
You'll be surprised how little that will be.
Nowadays, every time I go to the thrift stores, I see several old MAC's and an
occasional Lisa, for 10% of what a comparable PC goes for, and that's not very
much. Of course if you look inside the typical MAC/Lisa thingie, there's a HDD
that's not terribly interesting except, perhaps, historically.

The former; these things are being bought up by Mac fans as
part of the Mac's heritage.
What's a good price for most of a Lisa?
Too much. Are keyboards findable? 3.5" 400K disk
images with Lisa software? I
suspect that a Mac 128K/512K mouse would work (nine-pin, raw quadrature),
but keyboards are particular beasts. Anyone ever rig up a PIC scan-code
converter?
I've seen just keyboards for sale on E-Bay...
I realize that I will probably never see a
complete Lisa system with
software,
docs and a printer go for $25, but is a base unit
with a working monitor
and CPU worth $50? $100? More?
Yeah, I'd give you 50 bucks for it...
Honestly, in better times, I'd probably pay up to $250. These aren't
those times...
