The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I picked up my used AN200 for $220 (+ shipping) by watching
http://www.musicgoround.com  back in 2007.

Guitar Center also offers used gear: http://used.guitarcenter.com

These sites don't have the "bidding frenzy" like eBay, but you still
have to check often to snag the gear you want before it is gone.
