Kat,
Thanks for "butting in." There are a couple of similar sites on the
web; the one that leaps to mind immediately is www.ATMatch.com. There
are also sites like www.disableddealer.com wher people from all over
can list AT they have for sale. With these sites, both the buyer and
the seller need to be careful, as they are often targeted by scam
artists.
Local AT projects may also have interest buy down programs (Wyoming's
has one, but the cap on the amount financed is $5000.00

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
