Where to sell enlarger

Hi all - Any thoughts about where to sell a Beseler 45MX enlarger? Called all the local shops, they all said to just donate it to a high school or jr college. Of course there's craigslist (and eBay) but does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks!

That's a nice piece of equipment. I finally gave my Beslar 67 away at a garage sale. flamin lib May 2017 #2

Look around for the school that has a need for the enlarger. If you sell won't make more than a few hundred because a new Beseler sells for a tad under $400.

That said almost all of the photography on display at the Ft Worth Main st Arts Fair was large format B&W film. Peruse art websites and contact artisans. May have to give it away anyhow but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing it has a good home. Maybe even work a trade?
