If it's not too late, see if you can get a local museum on board to do the

my company
that i work for has just decommissioned an hp9000 system
for scrap and 11 dec vt420's circa 1991, unopened, with keyboards.
they did not give option on taking them or buying them =/
don't you hate it when the bean counters get involved because they
think the scrappers will not be jerks and resell what they get
instead of doing their jobs and just scrapping it and keeping it from
the employees for personal use?
The problem tends to be the employees reselling the surplus. And after
that, little underground networks within the company form up to make sure
that certain items are decommissioned and go to certain employees. You can
see where this is going.
