Besides Ebay, is there a good place to buy used items online. I need a good cheap portable ramp to ,,,?

to get a mobility scooter loaded in my van. It is just to bulky and heavy to take apart and lift every time.
Thanks in advance for any serious answers.
Matt, you're sweet, but it's not my scooter, just my van. I drive my sister who has cerebral palsey and her scooter is heavy and I am just not willing to dismantle it every time.

craigslist.org is the new eBay, but there are no listing fees (except for job postings) it's a wonderful thing. if you don't find your ramp, maybe you can find a boyfriend on there to help you lift your scooter into your van.
