Hah. You must be in Wilmington! The market here has been an outlier for years. Bargains to be had in Raleigh and Asheville, but rarely in ILM. There are a few members scattered along the Coast, so if you post the size you think you're seeking, one of us may PM you once you have the 10 posts? (I, for one, have a 24 1/2" '74 International which doesn't work for me. And I am uninterested in profit.)
Keep an eye on the
"Are You Looking For..." thread, as interesting examples often present, and on the
"Frame Doesn't Fit Pass Around Game" or whatever it's called now.
You might also want to have a look at Dale Brown's Google Group list email I don't know what to call it thing
"Classic-Rendezvous.". A lot of folks with deep and interesting history post there. His shop is in NC in the Triangle maybe?
With patience and perseverance and your budget you will have no problem finding a good rider.
