Where are the cheap used laptops

I gave my 3-year-old laptop to my son for college. I like having a laptop to take on trips for surfing from the hotel room, storing and editing digital photos, etc.

I was considering getting a cheap used laptop and loading it with Linux/FireFox/OpenOffice etc. The cheapest new notebooks after rebates start at $450 with Windows installed. When I look online for used notebooks, they appear to start at almost the same price.

Where are the really cheap used laptops? If I'm using Linux and Firefox, I don't expect to need much processor speed.
