At a recent California surplus auction, the pentium 4s were auctioned off individually...2-300 of them. I forget what they auction style was called, but they would bid on a single unit in a lot of say 20. Highest bid got to buy any amount out of that lot at the winning price. 2nd highest bidder got second choice at the same winning price, etc... Most went over $30. All were complete, but the HDs had been wiped. The same buyers getting all the pentium 4s didn't want to touch the IBM xeon workstations with no HDs that went in lots on pallets.
