The only thing I can think of is to check all the local Dealers in your area's website's. You might be able to find some good used attachments.

It can cost more to ship than the cost of the item.
KSSS, that is a sweet find. What machine are you going to put them on?
On a side note, have been hearing stuff about the new series 3, I think it maybe a winner if people give it a shot.
Thanks for the IronPlanet site, never knew about it.
Hey ksss would it be ok if I emailed you?
I have a few questions for you.
Thankyou

Welcome to Heavy Equipment Forums vasman!
Thankyou I have been just sitting back and listening for awhile.
No problem, drop me a line.
I am going to put them on a 440. I have priced a 440 series 3. I am waiting for ConExpo to actually see it. I really like the CASE skid steers (I have had 16 of them) but the cabs really need to be updated. I am told they should be pretty sweet. We will see.
I have bought tires, a 25ton tag trailer, a skid steer trailer, the VTS tracks, and sold several attachments on the site. I have had good luck. I heard from another guy on another forum who had a bad experience on skid steer purchase. He was not impressed with the garrantee they talk about. I have not had any issues with the site.
craigslist
similar to Iron Planet, if you can attend a ritchie Bros auction, they almost always have a good assortment of attachments, mostly new that go for attractive prices.
I've used Ushipto transport some large itemsthings pretty reasonably when I've bought online through Ritchie.
The ritchie auction in Kansas city on 9/3/09 already has 100 skid steer attachments listed, brush cutters, augers, buckets, forks, etc.

I use Craigslist also for anything i want to buy used, and i recommend these guys for new skid steer attachments.
Check out skidsteersolutions.com, they have tons of stuff and a great set up on their website to view and research all the products. I also am a big fan of craigslist for used equip...
A good site for equipment auctions in midwest is:
http://www.purplewave.com/
GovDeals.com is not to be overlooked either, though the selection there is sparse.
I like craigslist. It's easy to search craigslist using google. Just type the name of the item you are looking for followed by the limiter "site:craigslist.org." So if you wanted to search for say 4n1 buckets but only in Kansas you would type into google "4n1 bucket KS site:craigslist.org." Leave the state abreviation out and you'll search all of craigslist.
