When I was at J.D. Edwards (R.I.P.), Retrobox handled reselling the
company's old computers. They offered employees a "special price," but it
was hardly a deal.
From what I know, Retrobox deals mainly with PC
hardware from large
corporate accounts and resells it at a fairly high price.

1997?!? I'm really surprised to not have heard of them before now. I
checked on their website... I've been by their place dozens if not
hundreds of times in the past 7 years (not that I'd expect a large
sign saying "Turn Left for Old Computers".
I'd love to hear what people find, but, again, from their web pages,
it looked like they a) don't know much about non-PC equipment (look at
the Sun systems for sale), and b) think the stuff's made of solid
gold.
