Sun Remarketing [PO Box 4059, Logan, UT 84321 [phone]] sells Lisas
and various versions of the Mac XL, which was an upgraded Lisa.  With 1 MB RAM,
a 400K floppy and 10MB hard disk it goes for $495.  With only an 800K floppy
it goes for $345.  With SCSI and a 20MB disk it's $595.

Note that Sun's prices on used Macs usually run a little high, so you
might find a cheaper Lisa from a private source, though it wouldn't have
a warranty (someone just sold one for $200 here I think).  Sun also
has upgrades and software.

[I've never bought a Lisa from them, so take with all with a small grain
of salt.  I have bought some 400K drives from them though and was very
pleased.]
