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. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24898/lot/641/ https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24898/lot/641/

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.

      He's featured plenty of 16 bit machines (mostly PC compatibles).

    Probably for the best because he'd destroy it

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-collection/ 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.
