Actually, I've seen Lisa 1's go for over $10K on eBay. Sellam's collection 
is quite large. I've not personally seen it but anybody who knows Sellem 
knows that he doesn't exaggerate. For those who don't know him, he puts on 
the Vintage Computer Festival every year in the bay area and it is kind of 
like the superbowl of vintage computing events. The last event had Woz there 
for a 30th aniv. event. Maybe $500K is a bit much but who knows what he 
actually has?
