Where to get a used DSLR camera?
My boyfriend's mom is always saying that she wants a DSLR because her point and shoot camera has a lot of problems and is really old. I'd like to get her an older used dslr, because I don't have enough money to get her a new one. But I'm not sure where to get one. I don't trust ebay and there are no dslrs on craigslist near my area. Are there any websites I can visit or anything? (preferably a canon or nikon, but maybe a sony.)
Ebay
Here are three reputable websites.

Or craigslist in a city near you
If you were to give us your budget, it would help a lot.
You may be able to find a nice Nikon D40 for under $350 with a lens
If your budget is a little higher, then look a good used Canon XS or Nikon D3100
I agree with fhotoace's list and would add:

Look for used or factory refurbished equipment.
I recently bought a "like new" D5000 for $200 from B&H.
I prefer the local camera shops, as the reputable shops will inspect/clean used cameras before they sell them AND they can answer your questions (a lot of them also offer camera classes).
For example, a quick search on Yellow Pages gives results likeā¦ Http://www.yellowpages.com/denver-colorado/camera-store?g=Denver%2C+Colorado&q=camera+store
Your local camera store also
- Would the paparazzi be able to get good quality pictures if they used cheap DSLR cameras?
- How much would a used D3100 and a used AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G (4.3x) be worth?
- Can a Sigma 18-200mm lens be used on a Nikon (originally used on canon)?
- I used iso 800 on my nikon d5300. Pictures were too grainy. Used kit lens wide open?
- Older high end used dslr or a new entry level dslr?
