Where to start looking?

[beardy]

If I wanted to find some place to find carboys, besides craigslist, where would I want to start looking? I have a 24/7 search running on CL to notify me as soon as someone posts but usually they are "antique water bottles" for $45-100. New carboys from the LHBS are $35-45. I was thinking that SOMEWHERE some business may have them in use or retiring old ones that they may let go cheap. Like going to a bakery for buckets.
Any suggestions?

i have found some at garage sales, antique stores. in the old days they made them for lots of products, today its mostly plastic.
my last two, i bought two 5 gallon old glass ones for 10.00 each at an antigue store. good luck...keep searching

local wine club may have members ready to sell carboys

Chemical companies or distributors might be an option. I picked up 15 6.5 gallon carboys from one locally. Used to hold sulphuric acid.
