Most hospitals don't purchase equipment of that type, they lease it.
Then it's returned to GE Capital, Copelco/Citibank or one of the

myself to the GE rep as a recycler of his off-lease Sgi workstations
but my services were politely declined.

I've never seen any sort of surplus venue for this sort of thing.
