Viv's idea about Seattle Recreative sparked a thought. Some maker community
might find a use for that lens assembly. If nobody at Vashon MakerSpace has
a thought, someone there would very likely know of some folks on the
mainland that might be interested. I'd be surprised if it would be
possible to control the circuits in the assembly with a Raspberry Pi or
some such, but what do I know?!

Rondi, even though that is for a digital camera, Shot On Film
<https://www.shotonfilmstore.com/> in Lake City may have a use for it.
Another fascinating store that may be happy to take it is Seattle
Recreative <http://www.seattlerecreative.org/>. Artist frequent the space
looking for all sorts of things to use in art. Lastly, I wonder if Morgan
Brigs or any of the other island artists who do interesting creative pieces
would have any use for it. It seems like it could have a lot of interesting
parts if someone wanted to dismantle it.
Thank you,

A purpose-fit lens for an all-in-one camera is pretty much useless unless
it's mounted on the exact same camera for which it's designed. Obviously,
it's a different situation from a changeable lens that mounts on a DSLR
body. Also, I think this part is much more than a lens. There's a lot of
mechanism in there to open those protective covers and deploy the lens by
extending it when the camera is turned on. And motor-driven zoom. This is
why that flex ribbon of circuitry is attached.
You could try to sell it as a part on eBay. But it's not going to draw
much money and may not be worth the effort to put it up online. Here are
some eBay listings for similar lenses, listed as repair parts for the RX100.

The lens you have is for the earliest, original version of the camera,
maybe a decade ago.
