Found this on a pick along with other computers to scrap. Powers up but I would hate to scrap due to its age. Anyone know the value?

Fully working and with a good BIOS could be 150+. More if you have the monitor. eBay spread looks to $60-180 and hdt has 75-150 sold rates
With the monitor that doubles or even trippes.

Thank you for the info. Sounds like it is best not to scrap! Hopefully I will find a buyer!

From various standpoints (programmer collector etc) myself I'll say this.
Be patient. If you're willing to wait a buyer will show up and I generally target 100-$125 topside for picking those up without monitor. They were some of the better workhorses of the era and are infinitely expandable through hacks and mods.
Fake-raid farms and hex modded ram boosters Are the most common uses: shunting faux letters and overlapping registers respectively.
