How do you get rid of a car and get something for it?

My family has had a 1982 Mazda b2000 truck for over a decade. It has served us well and helped move things, but now the compression in one cylinder is way off and it needs carburetor work that would total over $2000 I assume that a do-it-yourselfer could fix it for much less, but we simply can't spend the time on it, life's a struggle as it is. So we need to get rid of it. With the tax bracket that we are in, deductions would do us absolutely no help. Money's tight now, is there anyway to get anything for it? Surprising me every time, we've been asked many times if it was for sale. I just wish I had taken phone numbers. Everything besides the carb and compression is good. Recent tranny rebuild too.

Thanks

Edit: I drove it limping to the shop (running rough, little power), but I wouldn't expect it to get far without a tow truck.
