Default noob with questions about where to get used equipment

Hi all, new guy here. I was wondering if anyone knew some good classifieds sites where you can get used equipment. New equipment is expensive but I also see a lot of people getting rid of their stuff as well but haven't had much luck finding smaller things like used screens and smaller 1-2 color presses.

Also, I wanted to darken my transparencies. Is it true that krylon brand clear acrylic does the trick?

I am pretty new at this, but I found a lot of my equipment on ebay and craigslist. I had to travel out of state, but it was worth it.

Does anyone know a good substitute for toner enhancer? I think I saw someone use krylon clear acrylic spray?

I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard the same thing. It's not that expensive and opaque positives make life a lot easier, so it's worth a try if you can't get your hands on the enhancer.

There's plenty of good used stuff out there, but if you have to have anything large or heavy shipped, it's often so prohibitive price-wise that it sours the deal. Other than things like roller frames, The used stuff I've bought has been local.
