People... sometimes on kijiji but only by the very daft these days, mostly I guess at flea markets in other towns, at garage sales, private sales among a group of friends. There's lots of places online to sell stuff and once it changes hands a few time someone might not even know they have stolen stuff; parts usually don't have any serial numbers and it's hard to tell if a shifter has been stolen or not... a lot of new parts bought online don't come in retail packaging so a lack of a retail box isn't even a tell anymore.
