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.)

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
