As I remember I got close to $900 for it and only that because I still had all the software and manuals that came with it.
The hard drive wasn’t working and I did not know why but the fellow I sold it to collected vintage computers and told me later in an e-mail that it did not take much for him to get the hard drive working fine.
So this guy got a Lisa in very good working order for a computer 25 plus years old.
“I got close to $900 for it”
That’s just under 10% of the purchase price, which is consistent with the Osborne originally priced at $1750 going for about $200 (although the auction isn’t over). The listing makes no mention of software or manuals and emphasizes the “as is” condition. So any purchaser is only guaranteed a machine that turns on and off—NOT a machine that definitely can be restored to working order. As I say, I’m amazed people pay such prices for attic clutter.
