Just seen this in a local add but details are vague. What are the computers wrapped in blue tape. Maybe PS/2 on bottom? Not sure what’s on top?
Could be an IBM EduQuest or IBM PS/2 Model 25.

On top is the same thing as on the bottom, only upside-down and backward.
Does look like a quad of EduQuest computers, not sure what model (there were several).
Why do things like this have to show up some remote place while I'm not rich?!?! 😀
P.S. The scale is hard to tell from the picture, they seem larger than they are. I think that's a waist-high counter.
P.P.S. I would snag those as quickly as possible if the price is at all reasonable.
*Too* *many* *things*!
Make sure to also grab the Pepsi Cola cooler while you're there.

And the dozen or so spare floppy drives that look to be on top. Probably just need cleaning.

Thanks guys. I will check into it and see what the guy wants. I would also say they are probably Eduquest by looking them up now.
They most certainly look like EduQuests. I hope you can get them for a reasonable price.
What do you guys think a fair offer on one would be considering it works?

Are you making an offer or has the seller offered a price?

That’s a 8-core , 32 gigabyte Pepsi cold server.
Well the typical ebay sold price (which doesn't mean that much, remember shipping) is under $100. There's someone asking $500 but seriously look at what's sold in the past.
BUT as for me if I had money I would pay a little more than that, if working, because it's right in the range of things I like.
Except that my doctor wouldn't let me actually carry one. 😒
If you get all four at a good price I guarantee you will find other collectors/ Vogons who will take the extras off your hands. The problem is always how long that takes, of course.
I would not want to try to ship these.

He is just saying make an offer. He is an older man that acquired a bunch of this stuff throughout his life and is now looking to lighten his load a bit. And by bunch of this stuff that’s not necessarily all computer items but just various older electrical and household items so not sure what all else he may have.

Maybe give him $80 to $100 for each of the computers (if you want to).
