I bought, repaired, and resold mostly 8 bit machines, but found a big bunch of Apple Lisa stuff for not a lot of money, maybe $150. I didn&amp;#x27;t really know much about it, but it was interesting and I figured I could get my money back out of it. It had the computer, three external hard disks (2x5MB and 1x10MB), and some software and other accessories.&lt;p&gt;This would have been around 1988-1989, and the Mac had been out for a while; this seemed like a quaint old computer at the time. Since the Lisa wasn&amp;#x27;t &lt;i&gt;quite&lt;/i&gt; Mac compatible, there wasn&amp;#x27;t really anything you could do with it...the software it had (early variants of stuff like Mac Write and Paint and such, called, I think Lisa Write, etc.) was what you got.&lt;p&gt;When I unboxed everything I found the receipts from when the original owner bought it all new. He&amp;#x27;d spent something like $20,000+ on the whole setup. Computer was $10k, and each of the hard disks was several thousand dollars.&lt;p&gt;I sold the whole setup for about twice what I paid for it (I seem to recall about $300, but it&amp;#x27;s been a long time, and it wasn&amp;#x27;t &lt;i&gt;super&lt;/i&gt; memorable...I bought and sold a lot of weird old computers back then), after cleaning it up and testing everything and tinkering with it until I was bored (I was a Commodore kid with a C128D and saving up for my first Amiga...Apple stuff was just a curiosity, not anything I wanted for myself).&lt;p&gt;Though I wasn&amp;#x27;t super into it at the time, it&amp;#x27;s one of the few things I kinda wish I still had all these years later. It has real historical significance that I didn&amp;#x27;t really appreciate at the time.</text><parent_chain><item><author>icedchai</author><text>This makes the new Mac Pro look like a bargain... especially after you adjust for inflation.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Apple Reveals ‘Lisa’, Its $50M Gamble (1983)</title><url>https://www.newsweek.com/apple-reveals-lisa-its-50-million-gamble-207032</url></story>
