I picked up 4 b&w g3s which I believe 2-3 of them have hd/ram
a beige g3
a perfect condition powerbook 180c w/ power adapter
an performa av (might be using the wrong name)
The guy had alot more stuff and just told me any time I want some stuff to give him a call I got it all for free. Ive gotten a few of the units gien away (well, my dad is going to keep the powerbook for a collection and one of the b&ws to go with a matching monitor I got)
Also all came with keyboards n such.
I'll be offering it up on here if not given away locally for free+ship as the items get a nice home or rather don't.

Nice! :O
The PowerBook 180c is a really nice PowerBook.

He has another powerbook I do not think it is the 180c, but it looked identical so I assumed it was just a slower speed (I didn't inspect much further) no power adapter, but iirc you're looking for some powerbook parts? I could pick that up sometime in the future and do it free+ship for you if interested (wish i hadda thought of that last night)

The PB 180c has got to be the most recognizable PowerBook ever, - the tiny 8.4" screen, even powered down, is so glaringly obvious even from across the room, there's almost more bezel than screen! Color active matrix screens were so deadly expensive in the early 90's that even a reasonable nearly 10" screen like the non-color 170/180 would have driven the price off the scale! But it is still a thing to behold! I have a friend who bought one new back then, and could never figure out how she managed to get thru the day without going blind...
Enjoy your new treasures!
