A local Apple salesman/ reseller confided to me a couple of years ago that he had given away a Lisa back around 1995, little realizing what a functional Lisa would be worth ten years later. I reckon a boxed 550c will be worth a grand before long.
Postscript: The only Macs I've ever given away were a IIsi with 13" RGB monitor (no loss there, those IIsi's were hobbled by Apple almost as badly as Color Classics) and a PowerComputing Pro 240 desktop with a 17" Color Pivot Monitor (which might have been great on eBay, all the original boxes, packaging, and The Stuff, - excellent working order, and clean, but oooh the shipping cost!) however they apparently did some real good inspiring a youngster at the nearby community college where I donated them, into a very successful first major job in his career path. Go Macs! The other thing was that the PowerComputing system, all boxed up, took up almost as much room as my first apartment in NYC! My 3400c was purchased in order to replace that system to maintain access to old apps & docs. I have a great photo of the 3400c sitting in between the two boxes towering over it...
