You join one of ClickClack's sales (and get lucky) or you ask nicely on the Classifieds. You can find more info about them in general in the Clack Info Thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39794.0). Happy hunting!

Either get in on a CC 4grabs or dibs sale, or just wait for one to pop up in the classifieds

Depends. Do you want to spend $100+ and be guaranteed to get one, or would you rather take the 1/1000 chance that you'll get one for retail price (ranges from around $20-$30) in a Clack sale?

NOTE: Not all Clack owners will resell theirs for $100+, it's just that's usually what they go for...

Whatever you do to make sure they are authentic always ask to see the bottom and look for CC's mark.

Or CF. FXE is rectangular, and CF is in a circle. For BS, CF is stamped on the back outside wall.
