In the Vegas area, there are tons of Goodwills, Salvation Army's, Opportunity Village, etc. Also, many churches and privately owned thrift stores are around as well. In Pahrump, a bumsville town near Vegas, an hour west, there are four main thrift stores: Cancer Victims, Salvation Army, Building 160, and Winsdor. Building 160 and Cancer Victims tends to get Macs like Windows get malware. The other two get Macs, but aren't usually retro or classic, but like G4 or G5 towers. Of course, none of these people know how to use any of these computers.
Also, search Google and see if Century 23 is still open in the Vegas area. As for Nick. He'll help you out, as he sold Apple computers since the Apple I days. As Nick if a Mac lover named "Crowly" has any Color Classics around. Crowly loves to rebuild and repair classic Macs, and I've bought about four Macs from him: 6500, 4400, G3 Tower, and an LC.
