I wonder what a Lisa 1 in good condition would sell for in today’s overheated market. Obviously a different situation from the Apple-1, but the original Lisa seems also to be exceptionally rare.
A well-preserved example went for $31k in 2018. That’s somewhat lower than I would have expected. Maybe we’ll see a more impressive price the next time one of these goes to auction.
There are several Lisa 1 in the pictures of this guy's Lisa 1 and Lisa 2 collection at the time (2011). https://alker33.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/my-apple-lisa-colle...
That's amazing! It looks like only the two in front have the dual "Twiggy" drives that distinguish the original Lisa. Then sixteen later models?! This guy must be the top collector; he even named his daughter Lisa.
You'll need to make a couple YouTube videos hyping the value of the Lisa first since most people know what an Apple computer is but have never heard of a Lisa.
It's funny you mention YouTube: I think the Lisa may now be the only classic Apple model that has not been reviewed in detail by the 8-Bit Guy, since he can't get his hands on one.
He doesn't have an actual Apple-1 either, of course, but this year he was finally able to build an accurate replica.[0] (It still wasn't cheap or easy.)

It wasn't an 8 bit computer which is quite possibly why he didn't review it.

Probably for the best because he'd destroy it
