Surprisingly, they come up pretty regularly, and the prices are dirt cheap! The one I got a couple of days ago actually cost half what the shipping was to get it to me!

The shipping cost has deterred me from buying several things as I can buy new and in the end come out just as good.

Have patience and know what thing are worth. When I'm working out of state for months at a time I have plenty of time to find deals. Good job Jerry.
