With regard to the unmentionable auction site, as well as estate sales, etc., it is worth remembering that uninformed sellers/inheritors may misclassify items beyond all recognition. If you're looking for oboe parts, search also through flute, clarinet, sax and even trumpet listings periodically. And, don't just look for "oboe parts," but also "oboe lots," "fixer-uppers," "oboe pieces" et. al.
In moderately large cities, pawn shops may also be a viable alternative. If you go to such a shop where employees are perhaps not musical specialists, you may find a hidden treasure in the midst of a stack of junkers or CSOs ('clarinet-shaped objects".)
