Here is some more detail on the HP 3000.

Front panel says its a series 950, about a dozen boxes of manuals (looks
like it may have been running unix), and the salvage guy is looking for at
least a couple hundred bucks. From past experience I know this system won't
hang around as soon as the space gets short.

I don't really want to be in the middle of the transaction, but the salvage
guy doesn't like dealing with end users, has no technical knowledge of the
system (hence would only get annoyed with tech questions). Also if a couple
people were to call about the system, the price would go up. What is needed
are a truck and bucks asap. Whoever can manage those items first and best I
will put in direct contact with the salvage guy and then get out of the way.
