Tandy 100 pile - could it be valuable?

Periodically I swing by Surplus Property here. It's very disappointing; there hasn't been anything exciting in a few years. Also, the University gets first dibs at surplussed things; whatever survives is auctioned off in big lots. So whatever interesting things ARE there tend to either disappear again or be sold with a pallet of uninteresting things. Having said that, I did see a good amount of Model 100s and their accessories (disk drives, manuals) and a couple of other Tandy things (cassette recorders). Is any of this especially rare? Some machines might be model 102s, since I saw the 102 tecnical manual. It would be a fair amount of effort to get everything; I might be able to convince the surplus people to make the Tandy stuff their own lot, but I'm not optimistic about that. -- Derek
