In Germany we have a place called "Wertstoffhof" where everyone can bring his old electronic devices ... (and all sorts of other garbage/litter)

There are always some 486s or Pentiums there. Mostly working and mostly with some sort of display. Maybe you have something like that either ?

You might want to check the computers section on eBay. I bought a P75
and a P266 over eBay.
