Rumor is this could once have been Steve Wozniak's personal testing machine as there weren't many of these made and he is known to have kept one.

Here is the relisted item

The same seller also has a complete in box Lisa

There is not a snowball's chance in hell that is going to sell for 100K. And for $1500 shipping... You should be hand delivering that thing.

Do you have any idea how much insurance on 100K is? That's probably why the shipping is so high. I wouldn't ship 100K worth of stuff to anyone without insurance.

It already did. And yeah the super expensive shipping is probably because of insurance. If I was a rich guy spending 100 grand that for my collection, I probably wouldn't think twice about spending another grand and a half to protect it.

PCs, Macs, old and new... too much stuff.

He relisted it so maybe the buyer wasn't serious. Or he just happens to have two 😜

If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.
