Buying equipment?

["Jayson Smith" <ihatespamratguynospamplease@insightbb.spamsucks.com>]

Hi,

     Other than eBay and local thrift/secondhand stores, is there any major 
place where people buy and sell Apple equipment? E.G. a website, mailing 
list, etc. The reason I ask is, I'm in the market for a ROM 3 GS, all I 
really need is the main unit. However, in my experience, a lot of the units 
on eBay are totally untested, and are of the "Pulled from a working 
environment, we know nothing about it, don't have any software, so can't 
test, powers up and lights up" variety. Is there a place where Apples are 
sold, where they're being sold by people who really do know about vintage 
Apple equipment, and so systems are actually tested?
Thanks.
