Advice: Getting rid of clawfoot tub

Looking for advice on how to get rid of my clawfoot tub. I don't necessarily want to sledge hammer it if it could have a second life with someone, but I don't know if I trust giving it away for free and having random folks trying to get the very heavy cast iron down my stairs. If you or someone you know have solved this, I would love to get your advice! Thanks! Kathleen
