I'd bet most of these old computers sit quite a while at Goodwill. While you are surprised that they were "older, beat up" and had a higher price, my knee jerk reaction would be to write down exactly what kind of computers they were and research them a little. I'd hate to pass on an old apple or ibm that could be worth hundreds because I didn't know what I was looking at, you could have passed up on a Lisa that someone just slapped 25.00 on because it was an apple not really knowing what it was.

Also, even rare 286/386/486 bring 100+ on ebay.

College, if its no too late, check the label on the underside of that lappy, make a note of what Input Voltage/Watts/Amps are written on the label. Then, when U pickup that $5 tower, check if there are any chargers available. Worth a risk if the charger is onlu a few bucks. U never know, that lappy might just boot (if you are really lucky
