A friend found a Newton MessagePad in his attic and is looking to sell it. Any ideas, beyond eBay, CraigsList and these guys?
I would think that our own @ismh would be game for something like this, he’s been known to collect a thing or two

To be clear, it really is a friend’s messagepad. Not mine. I don’t know if he’s up for doing that much work to get rid of it.
And craigslist, eBay and that other thing are not options that I am rejecting. The only reason I said to exclude them is because I already know about them!
I was unable to find an appropriate spot on Reddit. Does anybody know of anything?
I thought of that, but did not want to tag him for fear of being spammy. But now that you’ve done it…!

Not reddit, and this might be more work than your friend is up for, but the Newtontalk community is another venue (newtontalk.net).
From the FAQ:
Can I post personal items for sale or trade?
Yes.

r/VintageApple or r/appleswap may be have some bites. Probably the vintage group where as the Apple swap group seems more focused on newer products.
