The auction sites typically run them up higher than they're worth.  I watch the classified ads right here and over at accurate reloading.  I've worked some good deals on nice equipment through this web site.

Ed's Contenders. He has a lot of both Contender barrels and Encor barrels frames acessories and stuff. One of the best places online. Also ithere is M& M training and RJ's Guns. They both also carry a lot of used barrels in their inventories.

I dropped by Ed's Contenders just yesterday. Ed, as usual, wasn't there.
Ed is also a CPA and he's likely busy elsewhere.
But you can always call him and arrange to meet him at his shop.
Anyway, I looked through the window and saw an entire wall lined with boxed barrels of all kinds and calibers-more than I've ever seen in any place before.
I got my factory 26" heavy .223 barrel from him for $215. I also got spare forend screws and washers for $1 each.
I bet Ed has what you are looking for. And I bet his price is more than competitive.
