Everyone has pretty much covered all the bases: Craigslist, Facebook, eBay.
You could also try local pawn shops but honestly an MS-DOS laptop would be
old enough that they would have probably gotten rid of it by now.

I have an old IBM Thinkpad iSeries 1400 sitting next to me that I'm trying to
figure out why the LCD won't turn on. Was helping Dad cleaning out his
basement and found it laying in a box, lol. Especially on Laptops, be ready
for lots of hardware failure issues :P.

And unless you just really want the physical hardware, there's always DosBox
and VM options for DOS and Win95 if you just want that experience. I would
recommend picking up one of the many, now legendary, IBM Thinkpads of that
era if you really want the hardware, though. None of that Lenovo trash ;).
