Hmmm...I thought it was 2003 & not 1983. The guy is paying damn near MSRP
for this thing!

It's about the right value. There is a lot of demand from the Mac
fanatics, and there are less than a dozen original Lisa 1's in existence.
This one was almost immaculate. All the software and the fact that it
works is a major bonus.

If I had bill gate's money I would have purchased it.
Then again I would put together the best classic arcade from space invaders
to the best of the current coin operated machines first. Im the type who
would spend millions on electronics before I purchased 1 Van Gogh.

If I had Bill Gates' money, I'd be doing a lot of things ;-)

I was talking to my father about this. Back in the late 80's-early 90's the
company he was working for had several *pallets* of these that were free for
the taking. Just about all of it wound up going to scrap -- nobody wanted
any of it.
Needless to say, he feels a little nauseous right now.
I'll bet there are many similar woeful stories.

<groan> Yes. We gave a mint Lisa 1 (w/10MB ProFile) to one of our
employees after selling off a business in the early 90's. Had all the
docs, Lisa Office, you name it. Worked fine. Cost about $10k when it was
purchased new (~1983).
We thought he was doing us a favor by taking it <g>.
1 p.m.
I know somebody who was given a lisa a few years ago, but has the 3.5"
drive, only the twiggy 5.25 drive versions are rare I believe.

Hey, that was probably the guy that sold the Lisa-1 on eBay for $10,000 ;)

Interesting to see abeclassic bail at a 1/4 of the selling price. He
usually wins what he wants.
I think the seller should be tickled pink.

Before considering the effects of inflation, it only took twenty years
to break even!

Break even? By all practical purposes, within the collectable computer
realm, breaking even is a success.
Here, I'll sell you my Mac IIfx for half what this guy got for his Lisa
since the Mac IIfx is half as old and cost just as much new.
