Used Camera Lenses
Buying used camera lenses is a great way to save money on quality photography equipment for your camera. Lenses are expensive to buy new, and people who need to raise money fast, or just don't find themselves taking as many pictures as they thought, will sometimes sell used camera lenses, or their entire camera, camera bag, and photography accessories.
Shopping around on eBay is a great way to find out what types of prices you can get on used lenses. Obviously, if you already have a camera you are trying to find lenses for, you'll want to search eBay for auctions on that type of camera lens specifically.
If you haven't invested in a camera yet - either a digital camera or a film camera - eBay can be a good source of those, too.

Once you see what's available at eBay, you can compare it to the prices of new camera lenses and equipment. Amazon.com is a great source of photography stuff. They're not just about books any more. They are also trying to create a "used products" marketplace. When it comes to hard goods (not books) their inventory is not as extensive as eBay's, but it might be a good place to double-check.

For Used Camera Lenses
Generally speaking, you will find the best pricing and selection by shopping online since you are drawing from a nation-wide audience of people selling camera lenses. However, if you like the idea of shopping locally and seeing what you're getting before you fork over your money, you might also try Cragislist.org as another website with stuff for sale.
Also, no matter where you buy, be sure you know what the refund policy and quality guarantee is. Camera lenses are fragile and shipping them can be hazardous to their health! Also bear in mind that you may need to consult the manufacturer's website to make sure the lens your buying will work with the camera you already have.
