Hmm, the Lisa only sold 10000 units.

I worked with a manager who had the company buy him one but I don't think he used it for very long. I don't know why not.

When Bob Pariseau was the head of software development at Amiga, he had a Lisa as his daily driver. I was especially impressed by the enormous 5MB ProFile hard drive it had on top. The drive sold for US$3,499 when it was introduced in 1981, which works out to more than US$12,000 in today's dollars.
