Classified Ads
Classified Ads can be a good source for finding used arcade and pinball machines. Be warned though, good deals rarely last for more than a few hours. If you are interested you have to be ready to move with cash in hand almost immediately. Also, don't be amazed if the machine turns out to be totally different from the description. Most people selling old games out of the garage have little or no technical knowledge about them!
Craig's List - A good place to start. Craig's list is like a free online classifieds ad. They have lists setup in most major cities throughout the country. Typically you'll find the Arcade Games listed under 'Collectibles' but its worth checking other categories as well. Also a great resource for selling games as listings are free.
Quick Links to Florida Craig's Lists: Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami, Tallahassee, Tampa / St. Pete, West Palm Beach
Online Newspaper Classifieds - might be a bit harder to sort through, but you can find some amazing deals out of the paper from time to time. Only problem is, if its a really nice deal expect it to be gone quickly!

Our Message Forums! - Always check out the Florida Collector's Forum. Plenty of game deals are posted on a daily basis. Plus folks are nice enough to pass along any deals they may find from other sources.
RGVAC Marketplace:
Although you'll find games and items for sale on both the main Arcade and Pinball Usenet groups, there is a group
dedicated simply to sales. Although not specfic to Florida, local games do show up from time to time.
Mr. Pinball Classifieds - Also not specific to Florida, but you can search by state and plenty of Pins are offered in the Sunshine State at any given time. Prices can sometimes run pretty high, but you may find the odd deal.
