Best place to buy a truck cap/tonneau?

I am looking for either a truck cap (something like a Leer 100r) or tonneau (leer 700) for my 2010 Titan.  Anyone know of a good place within a couple of hours of Nashville to get a good deal or that even has a decent selection.  Used is ok as long as it is in good condition.  I am watching craigslist, but thought someone here may know of a place that specializes in them outside of the standard retailers on the websites.

Thanks.

If you are shopping new, the prices seem to the same most everywhere. I ordered my Extang Tonno from Realtruck.com. They had free shipping and $50 rebate; it was delivered FedEx in four days.

Thanks guys.  I have a soft tonneau, but really looking for something with better security.  I will check out camper corral.

This sounds crazy but i've bought at least 6 covers this way......

Search for your model of truck for sale in your immediate area. Titan is easier because the bed size hasn't really changed in sooo many years. Try to find a individual selling a truck with a cover on it. Call and offer a couple hundred bucks. I got one for $100 but that was just luck. The cover won't "add" value to the truck. The new owner may not even want it. But the seller will normally take a couple dollars cash since he/she isn't using it anymore.

I've also attempted this with dealerships but i've only had success once.

I thought about this too.  I think it is a great idea.  I will give it a try.

Just picked a cap from Craigslist for $300 in really nice condition.   Only downside is I have to get it painted to match, but I will still save probably $1500.  

Thanks Everyone.
