IBM 5160

[Elder]

So i found an old IBM 5160 personal computer XT in my parents basement and i was trying to gauge whether it could be worth something, rather than just scraping it for recycling.
Looked around and couldn't really find any good standard for pricing so i though to enlist you guys for help.
Basically wondering if its worth my time to even try.

I dont know if it will power on or not and i have not looked inside it yet either

I had an earlier version as my first pc. As far as I know, it's worth more as scrap steel then anything.

Ebay says otherwise, depending on whats working or not

it works, i dont have any way to check for a boot but the psu still works on it. And it beeped like its was supposed to meaning it probably posted. So i may be able to get something for it.

Gotta check that 'Completed Listings' button. But the ones that sell go for $150 to $400. Looks like the keyboard alone pulls in $150.
