Yep!
"I do hunt craigslist occasionally."
Yeah, I've been burned on eBay, too. I've taken the same approach you have - parts and accessories only.
The nice thing about Craigslist is that things are usually much more reasonably priced, and you get to look at them before parting with your cash. If something's wrong, the lower price usually compensates for it. If you have to replace a cracked handle on a 1205, for instance, it doesn't hurt nearly as much on a $10 Craigslist machine as it does on a $65 eBay one. And you got to decide whether it was worth it to you up front.
