Re: What would you do? (Large lot of systems)

if the stuff is clean, ie. . no school markings and etchings, buy it and sit
on them for while.  They will be worth more in a year or two. If they're
dirty, consider only if there are a quantity of good expansion cards
involved . . SCSI , diagnostic, uni-disk 3.5 and RGB cards in particular do
well at auction. The regular cards as well as logic boards, keyboards etc.
will be more valuable in the future.
