I have found many many bargains on eBay. You simply have to know what you
want and know the max you will pay. And ask questions of the seller.

I recently bought a Seal 500T dry mount press for $916 which includes
shipping. $3000 new with shipping. It will dry mount a 20x24 in one press.
It will almost do a 30x40 in one press. I get it tomorrow. And it is
guaranteed. If there is a problem, they will have it fixed.

I also bought a Hasselblad sheet film back, film cutter, seven holders, and
appropriate Nikor developing tank for $150.

Two Nikor tanks, a one liter and a two liter tank, five 120 reels and four
35mm reels (these tanks are the old good tanks, extruded, not welded) for $65.

A 63mm EL Nikkor enlarging lens for $130, new, with US warranty.

You just have to pay attention to the details.
