Do U no what HP servers are worth parted out?

Someone wants to sale me an HP server and it sounds to good to be true. However I am new to electronic recycling and need some advice.
I want to be sure that i can make my money back with some kind of a profit.
The description of the HP server the person gave me was this:
HP 9000 N class server, weighs in at 350 pounds.
runs HP-UX operating system.
Has 10-18 disk drives.
this is 4 way.. Has 4 computing units.

my questions are:
how do I tell if parts have already been stripped, iow what should i look for. i know from reading on here that the server circuit boards are high grade.
And if someone could ballpark what a server like this is worth if it is all there and i dismantle and sell parts at an e-scrap yard or someone on this site.
Also what questions should i be asking the seller?
Thanks in advance

You didnt tell us what you are paying for it. just by the weights dont go over $77 for it.

$250 is what they want.

LMFAO no its not worth it at all.

$250 is way too much. You dont want to get in over your head and then get the shaft later. I would go with the $77 number. Personally I would not go over $60 your time and effort to break it down is the biggest part. You can mention to him that you are not a refurbisher and you will destroy it so that it wont get back into the market. (unless that is what your going to do) Then it would be worth about $350-450 give or take. The thing that I learned over time is dont spin your wheels with one guy when there is alot more out there.

after hearing some good stories on servers i got too excited before doing a little research. thanks for educating me.

Well he came down to $150 over the phone. I think i will go by and look at it and offer him half that. And now he says it only weighs 240 lbs.

I guess.......One server only weighing a couple 100 lbs is not worth chasing.........Try finding bigger loads...........They are out there and YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Decided to leave that server alone, i need more knowledge on the subject before i start buying escrap. Someone dumped a s.s. Comercial oven today at my work. Ill scrap it today instead

Always more fish in the sea so don't be afraid to pull the line in and re cast it.

Don't be afraid to walk away from a deal that is not right.

The last server I bought was $ 10.
