I find most of my machines on craigslist, although I've found some at thrift stores and a few on eBay, though I avoid eBay because the shipping charges are so high. I tend to drive around the immediate Seattle area and North, sometimes to Bellingham. You're in Lewis County and there are lots of good machines in the Olympia/Lacey area that I've passed on because I'm not willing to drive that far (depending on what they are, of course) and traffic on 5 or 167 is always a pain. Although, I've purchased a few in Tacoma and Puyallup, one in Lacey, etc.
