Hello folks.
I am looking to do some major upgrades on my kit, specifically my microphone. I have been looking for a used Sanken CS-3e. However, beyond eBay, my search hasn't been fruitful. I was wondering if you folks have tips on where to look for used equipment. I have heard plenty of stories about $2000 microphones being found for $1000. Granted, these are rare and specific events, but even a fraction of those savings would make the search worth it.

Although craigslist encourages people to buy and sell locally, you can search all of craigslist at once. There's this Wired article on how to set it up, but why do the heavy lifting, when somebody else already has?
Baz's Bazaar carries alot of 2nd hand broadcast and has a massive audio section, it is a UK based list, but you might be able to get what you need shipped for a reasonable fee..

Try Trew Audio as well. Good luck finding a used Sanken CS-3e. They can have mine when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
