This one did indeed go to RR Auction. Here's the live listing:

Went for $45,454 plus the buyer's premium, so approximately $56,817 out the door. RR Auction will probably take 15-20% of that sum from the seller in fees, netting the seller $42 to $44K. With the original eBay ask of $52K, minus $2K in eBay fees, the net proceeds from eBay would have been about $50K.
Unless RR Auction cut the seller a deal on fees, he or she would have done much better with an eBay sale.
In any case, if that machine was fully working it probably would have sold for closer to double the price. I am surprised they didn't make a more earnest repair attempt in preparation for the sale.
anotherLISAguy:
I agree - there has to be a reason for RR not even trying to upsell the internals with proper images.
As I said, my frustration stems from the notion that as their value appreciates, there will be more slap-together LISA auctions.
If auction houses don't do a better job of qualifying their offerings, some genuine junk will be offered.

RR's next Lisa 1 auction has gone live, and will end next month: https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/350473807246026-apple-lisa-computer-with-twiggy-drives-profile-hard-drive-mouse-keyboard-and-software/?cat=0
Drives reportedly work. Seems to come with a full complement of Twiggy disks and manuals, including LisaTerminal. Should fetch a good price.
