Quenten,
First off, what size work do you normally do? That could narrow down the size. My first jointer I got used on Craigslist, a 4 inch King Seely. I got rid of it on Craigslist after I was positive I needed something bigger. My current 6 inch jointer came from Craigslist, as the owner was moving up to something bigger..
I don't know about your neck of the woods, but jointers show up frequently on the classifieds. You might find a gem.
