Where can I sell old computers? [View all]

I see some sites online, but I dunno if they'd take mine.

One Mac Classic, with keyboard and mouse. Does not boot. Youtube tells me how to fix it, but I don't want to invest the time.

One Imac... the one with the screen mounted on half a globe. Does not boot.

Or should I just recycle them?
