Shure... just your reasoning changed ... let's just assume
you're better informed now.

Yes, around 30, but considering that everyone in the
world wants one, and
they regularly fetch more than $15K when they do come up for sale
(with some RARE exceptions noted),
I still could bite my ass for one of these I didn't take...
I think it's a reasonable value.
The Lisa 1's are no different. There are even
LESS of those than
Apple-1's in the known universe.
Now, I realy doubt that. For one there have been way more
Lisa 1s than Apple 1s been made, while the offer was similar.
In contrast, who payed 700 bucks in 1976 for an A1, was more
than happy to accept the trade in offer for a way more powerfull
computer. So if about 5% of all Apple 1s have survived, it'll
save to assume the same number for Lisa 1s ... so than 100 must
exist...
And there are 1,000,000 screaming Mac
fans who would sell their mother's kidneys for one.
Now, should this be telling me that there are a lot of
Mac-Fanatics with a less than satisfying childhood and
anger against teir mother or what :)
