You can leave it out at the end of the sidewalk and let someone take it for free.
Neither are worth much if anything as a running computer.
Agreed.

Mac Classic
LEM Staff - 1990.10.15
Introduced as the first sub-$1,000 Macintosh in October 1990, the basic Classic came with 1 MB of RAM, a SuperDrive, and space to mount an internal SCSI hard drive. The hard drive version came with 2 MB of memory and a 40 MB hard drive. RAM expansion was via a 1 MB daughter card with two open slots, which could accept a pair of 256 KB or 1 MB SIMMs. This made memory upgrades far easier than on the Plus or SE, since the motherboard didn’t have to be removed. At the same time, it means you should avoid any used Classic without 2 MB or more memory unless you have a source for the memory card.
What Apple was thinking releasing an 8 MHz computer so late in the game is beyond me. By 1990, 8 MHz was just too slow for practical use, although that didn’t keep Apple from selling it or people from buying it. At this point, a 16 MHz Classic would have been sweet (see our review of the 16 MHz Brainstorm upgrade in a Mac Plus for details on that).

That iMac is the a G4 iMac, one of these. There were several models, depending on processor speed, etc. You might be able to install OS X 10.4 on that. Incredibly, the browser TenFourFox will run on that.
15″ iMac G4 (Early 2002)
People like them for their weird looks. You might get a few bucks for that. I still have one, but I'm not sure why. They are a nightmare to work on. Seriously, they aren't worth a whole bunch.
Craigslist is your friend.
