sorry, cannot help you find one, but can maybe add some insight/advice here on them good luck, I looked for over 2 yrs for a nice decent used one, and never found one, or NOT at any deal
almost everyone selling a USED one wanted as much or darn close to exactly what a brand new one cost, and I looked at some that looked like they were abused pretty bad and owners still wanted top dollar
and worse yet, there are many different grades/quality of augers, then cheapo one's are just that cheap and don;t work or last long, so buying one of them used can be a ticking time bomb, that will end up costing you more $$ than having bought a new one!!
so, be careful any you find, do some research on quality before buying is my advice
I ended up buying a straight arm backhoe attachment, and rented a auger for what I needed,
renting won;t be perfect if you have lots of needs/uses for one, but it can get the job done till MAYBE you can find a deal on a used one!
I know I still look for one now and then,(been looking since 2017) but have yet to find any in a 150 miles of me, which would be even maybe in your area LOL
right ow, I am more looking for a mini skid steer stand up on model with an auger, as the few places I still need some holes for post are in between tree, and my larger machine doesn';t fit to use even if I find a full sized auger ! always a catch in things, Haha!
