As for where I obtained my bikes, by far, most C&V types come from yard sales. Craigslist is second ( yes there are still bargains on CL). Third place goes to private sales then estate sales then trading with BF members. I've obtained exactly one bike from ebay that has long since been flipped. I've never found a bike worth buying at a thrift shop around here.
I've also purchased four bikes new.
