A volunteer place near me that basically reduces PCs to junk for recycling has a storefront also. This being a university town, it's Mac-ville. Here's a bunch of vintage Macs for sale:
And the sad pile of SGIs in the "closeout" section. According to the guy at the store, no one wants them:
Bins full of expansion cards, piles of Zip drives, routers, you name it. I bought a NIB 5.25" floppy drive for $5.
Apparently, they don't hang onto vintage PCs, just Macs. There was a rack in the corner that held an HP 3000 system, but the contents had long gone to the great smelter in the sky.
Basically, if it's not a Mac or a late PC, the store personnel know nothing about it.
