They do come up from time to time. A lot of 38 T800s(?) was sold recently.

Yes, quite a few are archived on Ram's site:

I've also long been interested in a Transputer SBC project, having used 
them back in the late 1980s. While the Transputer requires very little 
supporting circuitry you might want to pick up a C011 (I'm not an expert 
and haven't built an SBC - this was advice from Dave McGuire).
