I asked a similar question about a week ago, and the responses I got were:
1) "I think because of [cloud computing and the recession], server hardware isn't worth what you think it is. Go lower."
2) Use traditional channels such as eBay, Craigslist, etc.
3) A few people that were interested provided their direct email addresses.
In the past 2 weeks, I've sold 3 servers (combination of Craigslist and eBay). The prices weren't horrible, but what surprised me was how small the demand was (i.e. number of inquiries and bids, respectively).
One interesting idea I heard recently from a friend of mine who runs a startup in NYC is to post the servers on SF Craigslist.
Otherwise, I've been sticking to Craigslist. There are no fees, and I seem to get similar demand volumes as eBay. My strategy has been to post an item on Craigslist at price X and lower the price by 1/4 after every 7 days (the default post expiration on Craigslist).
Good luck.
