If you have plenty of time on your hands and it covers your area you can trawl through Craigslist. I had to do this for about 4 weeks when looking for my table. Gold Crown's did pop up every so often. The best deals, as you might expect, are from sellers who don't even know what they are. However the downside is you can't rely on the subject/description to be accurate. You have to manually open and check every listing if you want to find that bargain, and if you are really serious physically visit people who don't even know how to upload a photo. Make SURE to physically measure any table you plan to buy to ensure you know what size it is, as 90% of the listings I saw were from people with no idea how to determine the correct size of a table. Almost every single listing claims the size is "professional". "tournament" and/or "regulation" with no concept of what this actually is. (The best method is to measure from the tips of the rails, a 9' table should be exactly 50" x 100")

Also watch out for worn-out rubber on the rails of GCIIIs, they have a bad reputation for not lasting well. Nothing that can't be replaced of course, but you may need to factor in this cost when buying.
