My local online sales sites such as Gumtree are full of people offering this & to take unwanted T's from people. It is not a bad way to buy cheap T's.

Yes I am in the UK, but if it is happening here, then it should work there too. Most of these sites allow wanted ad's, so why not place one & keep an eye on who is selling what close to you. I have several saved searches that result in an email when someone advertises Tarantulas close to me. & I have picked up some real bargains locally as a result.
Too many people buy a T, or two, from a pet store & then decided it was not for them.

Post an ad on Craigslist and Nextdoor

Check with local pet stores, especially ones that don't sell inverts. People come in all the time looking to give up pets.
