Looks like it's a 2/10 in nice shape. Here's a couple questions you could ask him to help the sale:
Has the keyboard been rebuilt? Does it have the information cards? From the looks of it I doubt it's been rebuilt. Cards look nice and shiny:
How many bad sectors does the Widget have? (You can test this with BLU http://sigmasevensystems.com/BLU)
Normally I'd love to try and screw around with a cheap computer like, say, an Apple iie. I'm not going to try anything on this one for fear of screwing up the operating system. Sorry you''ll have to try that one yourself.
Is anything else included with the system? (Disks, printer, cables...)
Depending on agreed upon price, a video card could be included: http://ceos.io/lisa/IMG_2287.JPG
Have any of the electronics been rebuilt? Capacitors replaced?
I doubt it. The inside logic boards look super clean so unless they were done by someone really really good I don't think so. And I don't know how to read date stamps on caps. No leaks or other messes inside.
Is he willing to negotiate on price at all?
All reasonable offers will be entertained.
The CRT / Video system looks like it's in excellent shape!
It's impressively clean.

Hi Everyone,
I am helping a friend sell his working Lisa 2. He would prefer not to ship (for obvious reasons) and would like to avoid Ebay (for obvious reasons, as well).
He is asking $2,700 and I may be in a position to facilitate the deal and, for example, perhaps bring it to the museum. Unfortunately, donation is not an option (and was the first thing I asked).
Pictures are available at:
Please contact me directly off list if interested.
