    Set up a search for ultrasonics on ebay that will email you daily
    when new ultrasonics are added.  You need to search all categories as
    ultrasonics are sold as used dental equipment, lab equipment, and
    jewelry tools.  If you keep the price you want to pay in mind and not
    get caught up in the bidding you may find a good deal.  I have found
    some good deals on used tools on ebay.  Last night I won a Vigor hand
    press for $11.00 but lost out on some used gravers because someone
    just had to have them at any price.  The caution is to know when you
    have to let go when outbid.  Let some (usually testosterone fueled)
    power bidder have it if the price gets to high.  Stick to your budget
    and don't bid until the last minute of the auction for a chance at
    snipeing a bargain. 

    Also, before bidding check out the seller's feedback rating and
    shipping rates.  Some sellers like to pad their profit with high
    shipping rates. Also, the great bargains on new tools are usually
    cheap imports.  You'll do better buying new tools from reputable
    suppliers.
