If you see something nice but the seller won't come down on price, try contacting them a couple of weeks after their listing ends, to see whether they'll take a more reasonable offer.
Just my $0.02.

Sound advice indeed. Any magic search words that tend to help? As you can imagine, "Tube TV" get swamped with crummy mid-00's CRTs and I doubt everyone spends all day lurking and sifting through those...
