Craigslist or Ebay. You may be surprised to find just how many
collectors of old photography equipment there are out there. You likely
will not see much $$ in a sale but. . .
Also, you could try selling it (and seeing current used prices at
retail) at www.keh.com Currently, OM1's are selling <$100 while OM3's
are just over $200. That's for the bodies only.

Should have mentioned that the market for used Olympus lenses is
probably stronger than for the body alone.

There are still people who collect film cameras.
I am going to be unloading my Hasselblad and Cambo view camera shortly.
I haven't used either in about 25 years.

I was hoping to find someone but you are right, digital is the way to
go for most of us now. I hate the thought of putting such a nice
piece of equipment into the trash. I'll probably list them on
Freecycle or similar.

Some are even returning to film. I've a geezer friend who is a
graphic artist (among other things). He has recently returned to film
with his Canon F(?) and 4x5 view cameras.

Was not familiar with keh. I may give them a try. If I can't give them
away I may as well sell them.

If you have a large flea market you may tried to find someone there to
"buy" the camera from you.
While I did not try to get rid of an old camera. I had an old Olympus
camera that needed a little work. While the digital had replaced it in
most of my work, I needed the old camera for slides. An old guy at the
flea market with hundreds of old cameras fixed it like new.
Now I don't even have a need for slides.
