From what I've seen on eBay, I think I got a pretty good deal. 
5160 PC/XT with 192k of memory, includes keyboard.
3270 Connectivity cards (used to talk to an AS/400 or other IBM big iron over twin-ax)
Boxed cables for the 3270 card
5152 IBM Graphics Printer
IBM Printer Stand
IBM 5153(?) Color CGA Monitor
All for $200. The kicker is that it's all in the original IBM boxes! Even the 3270 cables are in IBM boxes!
I also picked up a 5170 at the same time. I haven't dug through it but it's got a Piram hard disk of some unknown (as yet) size as well as some odd little turbo kit. The turbo kit consists of (at least) a tiny circuit board and a back panel that has a knob & switch on it. I'll post pics of this.
I also got some IBM documentation and I'll be scanning those manuals to PDF and making them available on the retroarchive.org site.
I also have the three volume set of MicroHouse reference manuals that I'll be scanning soon. They cover motherboards, hard drives and hard drive controller cards. It's current up to about 1989 or so.
