craigslist, ebay
Admittedly, it's a pretty mixed bag on craigslist. However, with a little patience the right bike will come to you (assuming you have the time). If you go to craigslist, look under bikes, and scroll back to May 10, you'll find a Litespeed Vortex (Dura Ace/Ultegra), Cannondale CAAD4 (Campy Record), Litespeed Tuscany (Ultegra), Trek 5200 Carbon (Ultega), another Litespeed Vortex (Campy Record), and a Cannondale CAAD5 (Campy Record) listed. That's some pretty powerful stuff and some of it may still be available. Incredibly, it was all listed on the same day.
If you're going to try Ebay, you may consider narrowing your search to bikes in the NY/NJ area. Often the seller will let you come by for a test ride.
Good Luck!
