You’ll find plenty of people desperate to sell some stuff on Craigs List. Often times these people will be relatively close, and have some great items! One of the other pros to this method is that the price is always negotiable. You can always offer less than what they are asking.
You can also try posting on Craiglist or in the newspaper yourself, with a request to buy items. You can negotiate the terms, and you’re sure to get some items this way.
