I do believe most people in the USA use craiglist for used fridges.
Look for scratched and dented ones at the standard stores. You can often get a good price as people don't like to have dents and scratchs in their sleek refridgerators.
I bought a standard fridge at Sear in the scratch and dent (scratched and broken handle) for just over $200. Brand new, energy efficient. I like the fridge as it hold 4 kegs which is enough for me, and I have the freezer for hops and spillover from our upstairs unit. If you plan on a bar, a built-in icemaker would be nice, but will up the $.

Check craigslist and the classified ads in the paper. I got a full sized fridge for $50 that way

As with our beer we're brewing, you need patience. Just because you want one NOW doesn't mean one will be there. Craigslist, newspaper, nickle ads, etc. You can save $100's of dollars if you are patient.
Otherwise, scratch-and-dent or sales are good options. Again, they may not have anything right now, but may tomorrow, next week, etc.
Or you can just shop around and pay full price. If you have a COSTCO they had a good deal on a 7.7cu/ft chest freezer a few months ago. About $100 less then HD, Lowes, BB.
