| Original Apple Lisa Mouse: Is it worth big bucks? | |
| Posted by: snuci on 2015-10-30 04:58:46 Just saw this on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171983561235and someone bid on it. Is it really that collectible or is someone screwing around? Anyone else here have one like this? They have to be still fairly common. Maybe I should check my serial number 🙂  | |
| Posted by: aplmak on 2015-10-30 06:28:12 That auction is GROSSLY HIGH!!! I've got about three of them.. They are rare but not that rare.. Occasionally a Lisa auction will come up with one of these mice.. Keep an eye out if you want one.. Some of these ebay people really take advantage... it is sad... | |
| Posted by: MJ313 on 2015-10-30 06:58:48 Who and what are these ebay people taking advantage of exactly? If no one buys it, no one buys it. If someone does, it's because it was worth it to them to do so. | |

| Posted by: snuci on 2015-10-30 08:29:21 Just to be clear, I never once criticized the auction or the price (which is not allowed). I genuinely wondered if the original Apple Lisa mouse is that rare/collectible because it was bid on by someone. I guess it could be construed as a gray area. | |
| Posted by: aplmak on 2015-10-30 09:52:56 I never comment on ebay prices but this one is a bit ubsurd... That's just my take.. And if it isn't then I'm in luck!! LOL! | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2015-10-30 11:37:55 Something's fishy. | |
| Posted by: CC_333 on 2015-10-30 15:17:42 Definitely. c | |
| Posted by: snuci on 2015-10-30 15:39:50 Just for giggles, the mouse in the auction is serial number 031587. Mine is 005384. Aplmak, what serial number are yours?  | |
| Posted by: aplmak on 2015-10-30 22:11:16 I will check them asap... One is a little higher than this guys... The others I don't think are as low as yours... So I assume your's might be worth at least double... lol!!!! Since it is SUPER DOOPER RARE... LOL!!!! | |
| Posted by: haplain on 2015-11-02 10:29:41 Bid retracted BUT it can be yours for 12k BIN!! Most excellent. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2015-11-02 10:57:26 well hap can buy 3 @ that $$ | |
| Posted by: aplmak on 2015-11-03 10:41:53 Hap I looked up the bidder's info and it does show he has done retractions before... Very fishy.. but hey as someone said it is bringing awareness and hopefully will boost up the value of everyone here that has one... 🙂 | |
| Posted by: haplain on 2015-11-04 12:19:57 Very fishy, 11 bid retractions in 6 months. I wonder how many eBay allows before putting you on some kind of probation. | |
| Posted by: aplmak on 2015-11-04 13:28:36 Yeah I don't really care for those people who play those kinds of games, I mean come on..... Especially at that price! Could be a relative of this person who did the bid.. I am only speculating here! | |
| Posted by: haplain on 2015-11-04 14:36:17 Well this is a heck of a deal. Not only do you get a mouse which is valued at nearly 10k BUT you also get a Lisa with it too!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Lisa-Antique-museum-Home-Computer-Collectors-Piece/271910661633?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D777000%26algo%3DABA.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131227121020%26meid%3D838e430b20084cb492cc7ff38edd537e%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D201460521566 | |

"PHOTO IS NOT OF LISA FOR SALE ACTUAL PHOTOS FOR BUYERS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST." | |
| Posted by: aplmak on 2015-11-05 12:43:00 WOW!!! And you get a nice and beautiful deep mustard yellow Lisa 2!!! What a steal!!! That auction has been on there for so long... It started with just the picture but now there are actual photos of it.. And "Museum" quality to boot!!! LOL! | |
| Posted by: rsolberg on 2015-11-05 22:01:50 I wonder if the "late-century lawn" furniture is included. | |
