Do you want parts or the whole thing? Enlarger being big and bulky but not worth that much, many retailers in my area hates to carry them. An owner at one used dealer I often deal with says, he hates to carry them because they take up space, sits there forever, and not bring him in much money. He sold me two for basically taking them away. Shipping would be prohibitive for buyer too. Even on APUG, most sellers specify local pickup only.

As much pain as it is, your best bet maybe a local classified, Craig's list, etc.

Try local camera shops. A few in my area still carry them- there prices are way higher than Craigslist prices though (well excluding the Craigslist ads that think an enlarger is still worth $500).

For parts and lens, APUG Classified seem to be the best place. I've bought/got_for_free lots of parts for my omega D2 and DII here. Even good lens such as Rodenstock and Nikkor goes for pretty reasonable prices....

I have bought cameras, enlarging lenses, negative carriers, and film processors from APUG Classified without a problem.
