Where do you hear about these?
I also see them listed at times on Craigs in the community section. There are also a couple of websites that have auctioneers listed in your area.
Another place is garage, and yard sales. I got my Speed Graphic at one of those many years ago. Then there is Craigs itself. The only problem I find lately is that most of those listing them are on drugs price wise, but you can make a reasonable offer. The most they can do is refuse it. Then I let them list it for a while longer, and offer again. Most of these people think old means valuable, sadly it is not so for them.
