Yard sales are another great place to look if you want to find used, cheap equipment. If you look in newspaper advertisements for local yard sales, you will almost always find extra notes for treadmills or other similar equipment. If you ask nicely, the seller might even be able to hook up an extension cord and give you a demo of the machine in action. Running for a few minutes will give you a great feel for the stability of the machine before you spend money on it. Weekends are great for going out and wandering around to different yard sales.
