Where you sell your thinkpads depends on which country your in.
If your a member of say a local linuxusersgrouup, then thats where id 
start to mention whats on offer.
As a Thinkpad dealer in the UK, I will always consider taking any 
Thinkpad ive supplied in the past or had offered to me in part exchange.
 I know the brand and always have customers wanting good s/hand 
thinkpads with a known history..
A good clean 600x will always run puppy linux a treat, even if its 8/9 
yrs old.
i currently placed a T23 fully specced  as new to the trade for £160.00.
good luck in your sales efforts.
