Price recommendations for selling stuff...?
« on: May 11, 2025, 08:00:05 am »

I have my very clean, tested and working CPU board listed in the Marketplace here and on facebook for $425 which includes shipping.

I also put it on fleabay for $525obo (lots of fees on the bay).

So far no interest. I am was wondering if I have it priced too high (its what I paid for it) or if there is just a long sales cycle on Lisa parts?

It could also be the part itself... I've not heard of CPU bards breaking very often. I/O boards are of course a different story.

I agree.  The CPU card is common to all variations of the Lisa.  They are very dependable and even in earlier battery damaged systems the CPU card is rarely effected.  Also being located inside the card cage it does not easily get physically damaged.  I am not saying the price is wrong, you just need to wait for someone who needs one..

I also concur. These CPU cards are quite common in Lisa-land. A cursory search for "Sold" Lisa CPU cards on eBay show 3 sales (all untested) from ~ $125 to $192

If you offer it too cheap then someone’s gonna buy it as a spare (and probably never use it). If it’s tested and working, then you could hold your price until someone actually needs one to get a system working.

I agree - the clean and tested boards should be at a premium above the eBay historical - when looking at pricing history on eBay (3yr historical) or the Worthpoint (10yr?) pay attention to how often they come up as well - scarcity adds to that value as well.  Even then, some parts can be a bit more nuanced; the early series golden memory chipped boards have more value to a LISA1 collection than the 2/10 hobbyist.
