Anyone have a source for cheap applicance parts?

I found a smoking deal on a Kenmore Elite convection microwave oven. My wife had been asking for one of these for a while and I tripped across one that looked absolutely brand new at Goodwill for $32. Great. I buy it, install it and sell our 14 year old GE microwave for $30 on Craigslist. The new one works perfectly. Net cost so far... $2.

Here's the deal. When using the convection function you're supposed to use the metal rack. Well, it didn't come with one. So I look it up on the parts diagram and this silly little metal rack sells for $38-$50 + shipping! I'm having trouble making myself spend $50 on a metal rack for my $30 microwave. Yeah, I know. I still have a $600 appliance for cheap, but it's the principal! Anyone have any suggestions on how to track down one of these in a budget minded way? The part number is WB48X10017, which seems to be good for GE or Kenmore. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
