We are doing some sorting and moving in our lab storage area, and of course there is a lot of "vintage" equipment that is rarely or never used anymore. Things like

* 1990's era computer interfaces & lab sensors

* 1943 sextant

* Mercury barometer

* Fancy glassware of unknown purposes

I am hoping to figure out what the unknown equipment is, and then figure out a good fate for it. I hate to throw things out if 1) I can get some extra money for my budge or 2) someone else might be able to use it or 3) I might figure out what the heck it is and use it in the future. Is there a good place (besides google) to try to ID equipment? Is there a good place (besides ebay) to try to sell it? Is there a good place (besides Phys-L) to say "hey I have 6 old Vernier ULI interfaces - would someone like them?"
