The eBay user "moonlightflyer" has put an extremely rare Apple Lisa 1 computer up for sale via auction this week, giving Apple fans a chance to purchase a piece of history.
As of writing, the computer is selling for $25,100 with two days remaining.

Reads the description:


Unfortunately I do not have a mouse or the Lisa system software.

• It has authentic Lisa 1 and Twiggy ROMS.
* It has the Keyboard
* It has the original TWIGGY Floppy Disk Drives. I assume they work.
* Anti-glare silk screen for the CRT. No holes or tears
* The plastic has yellowed some but as you can see there’s no chips,
cracks, or dents anywhere on the case.
* The CRT is bright and sharp with no burn in.
* No problems with the power supply.

It has some very minor corrosion from the battery. I have removed the batteries.

I can not find a serial number anyplace. I believe this may have been a very early production Lisa my brother use internally at Apple.

Apple began development of the Lisa 1 in 1978 and launched the computer in 1982.

Pushed out of the spotlight by the original Mac in 1984, the Lisa 1 supported some mutitasking, a GUI, protected memory and could handle up to 2MB of RAM.

The computer sold for $10,000 in 1982.
