A decommissioned 70s-era NASA satellite is being privatized:
"Yesterday NASA announced that for the first time ever the rights to a spacecraft have been signed over to a group of private citizens scientists. In the coming months, 35 year old satellite ISEE-3 will be re-contacted and, if possible, pulled out of its retirement orbit for non-agency missions."

It's a nice thought. My guess is that it should still be functional as the electronics are likely undamaged (unless physically perforated by projectiles.)
Too bad they're hurting that badly for money

Update on this, NASA is also considering selling other satellites that it no longer uses.
