Where should I go to find 1/3 scale used bjd pieces?

I want to find used bjd pieces to construct a patchwork bjd at a low price. I want the standard on third scale and I want to know where to go and what to look for to find some pieces. For example if you recommend ebay what should I type into the search. This is a project I am really looking forward to and I have finally earned some financial help with it. I know I should purchase full limbs or pieces of them from same manufacturer, but basically the way the joints are the main area that needs to fit together is the torso which I want as a three part design.

The only places I know of to find used BJD pieces are:

Ebay - not very likely to find here
Den of Angels Forum's Marketplace (in the Large BJDs section of the Marketplace)

You have to join Den of Angels (pick a name you will like because if you ever sign up under a different name you'll be banned). Anfter 25 days membership and 40 meaningful posts/replies (should be all or mostly replies or posts in existing topics) then you will gain Marketplace access and you'll see the Marketplace section of the forum.

Notes
- most of what is in the Marketplace BJD sections are used complete BJDs.

- You will find some heads and bodies for sale but the combined cost and shipping could be more than buying a cheap BJD. Occasionally you'll see hands for sales. Rarely anything else. BJD bodies are sold new complete so you won;t see people taking them apart to sell used thighs or torsos, etc
.
- parts of different models/companies BJDs may not fit together or match in color
