Actually, a search on eBay, of the recently sold items, should give you a round
number. That will be a starting point from which you can go downward. Doing
that will save you from soiling your hands with an eBay transaction.

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...
