Where can I find good used bikes in NYC? [more inside]

In the pre Giuliani days there were a lot of used bikes floating around NYC for sale. I've been out of the game for a while and am looking for shops that deal in used bicycles. Slim pickings on craigslist.... Any local NY/NJ riders have a suggestion?

I'd like to find an old road bike ripe for conversion to fixed gear on the cheap. Thought it would be easy, as it seems to me there must be a huge cache of these sitting in a warehouse somewhere. (Doesn't WMATA and/or the cops pick these up on a regular basis?). The only source I can find is Craigslist, but that has not been very good, at least not yet. Anybody know of anything better? Police auction? Used bike wholesaler? Or perhaps my expectations are too high? Thanks.
