Anyone know of a good way to sell used servers?

We have a couple of servers we no longer need now that we are fully hosted on a managed host (rackspace). They were purchased for over $10,000 each but we realize that over time their monetary value drops. Anyone have suggestions or experience selling these in a proper way? They are dual xeon processor 2U rack mountable with 4+GB RAM, intel boards, 6x 72GB 15,000 RPM SCSI Drives with raid controller redundant power supply. We are in Southern California area. I can be more specific on any information if there is interest. I know there is ebay and the like but these servers are like the family dog that has to be given up and we are looking for a proper home for a fair price. I will end up auctioning it off if need be in the end though. Thanks in advanced for any help!

• eBay and Craigslist are your best options unless you want to seek out local resources outside of Craigslist.

  jscott : +1 for CL, you can actually try-before-you-buy. Too many sellers on eBay *way* overcharge on shipping.

  RandyMorris : so there is really not a place where big companies buy servers from that i was not aware of. i thought maybe there was a place that companies like google or some other large consumer of servers would buy wholesale or something and I could sell to them. Let me see if any more answers come up before I mark your answer as "answered" and thank you for answering!

  jscott : @RandyMorris: The big [for varying values of "big"] companies I've worked with/for usually require vendor support contracts on hardware purchases. Not sure how many Grey Market dealers offer such support.

• Southern CA might be better, but up here in the Great White North, it's hard to find other people to buy (or even to receive as donations) our old servers. Every few years, we have a couple of old servers and a few old PCs, and I've never found a good way to dispose of them other than disposing of them. The times I have been able to sell surplus equipment, I've used Craigslist.

  Warner : I usually recycle old stuff using Free Geek Columbus in Columbus, OH and I have some other local sources as well.
