Where would you look for a used longarm?

If you want to find a used longarm quilting machine, where would you look? I know about craigslist, ebay, houseofhanson, quiltropolis, and longarmuniversity. I also know to check with my local dealer. Does anyone know of other places to search?
Just in case you're wondering, I do have a specific make and model in mind, and I will post that in classifieds. This request is about finding longarm sales sites, not about finding the longarm itself.
Thanks!

I see them for sale sometimes on the homequiltingsystems on Yahoo Groups.

Look in the database section. Most of the stuff is short and mid-arms, but occasionally someone will post a long-arm.

check out everything in advance, so you know what your must-haves are. on a used one, you won't have as many choices as brand new customized. decide in advance what you can really live without. keep in mind that the trade-ins were traded in for something more than what these were, so these machines are likely to be kind of basic with maybe one or two optional goodies. people who have longarms that do a lot, tend not to trade them in unless they are professionals and need a more professional machine.

I don't know how big Albany is, but here in Atlanta there is a HUGE used sewing machine business. I've never been to the warehouse, but I imagine they have any kind of machine I could ever want. I'm not going to get up from my computer now to check, but I'm 99 percent sure they are listed in the yellow pages. You could look in your yellow pages, if you have not yet done so.
