Where to sell an Apple TV

As the title suggests I'm looking to sell an Apple TV
I don't really want to sell it on eBay. I suppose I could but I'd rather that was a last resort. It's also a hacked ATV so I was hoping to find some Apple related forum somewhere where it might find a more enthusuastic new owner than someone looking for a bargain on eBay.
Does anyone know of any Apple forums with UK memners where I could go and tout my wares (well just one ware I suppose)
Thanks

What is the hack? How much do you want for it? How old is it? etc. Was thinking of buying one, so might be interested.0

It's the patchstick hack. Basically you enable SSH on teh ATV via a special USB stick and you can then install pretty much anything you want as far as mods and plugins go. Have a look at http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Main_Page for some ideas of what you can do. It also means you don't have to open the case and void the warranty like the earlier hacks.
You can play non apple format video such as divx/avi etc and there's some great plugins like Sapphire (automatically organises your tv shows and movies and downloads cover art for them as well as synopsis info) and NitoTV (already put both on there). Use an external USB drive to supplement the storage, install ATV Loader which automates the process of installing some extra plugins etc.
One reason for finding some UK Apple forums is to work out what the going rate is for one of these.

As Apple released a free update to make Apple TV much more useful around the 15th Jan so, it'll be more in demand. Full story here: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/macuser/news/155967/
Have a look at www.macuser.co.uk and the forums, I'm not sure if they have a 'for sale' area, but you can ask on the hardware forum and someone will know.
Also the Apple TV subforum on Apple's site may be useful too: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=1970
