If you like bright and aggressive, just find any decent dealer and shop on price alone.
If you'd like something with a little less presence and bite, I recommend looking for a 90's or early 00's pair. I've recently been auditioning lots of vintage 30's for a project and they really do vary a lot. I did a quick clip recently if this helps at all: Quick & unscientific V30 test

I bought UK made V30’s direct from Mesa Boogie recently.
They’re smoother sounding and dont have that crazy hi mid bump of some other V30’s I’ve played, YMMV.

Assuming you're not picky about particular runs of V30's, and you know how to check if the speaker is still good, try local classifieds like craigslist. There is a vintage 30 near me with an asking price of $90, and that's not too uncommon. I let one go on craigslist for $50 a while back myself.
