Most are purchased by institutions or therapy practices, and they use them until they no longer function, or replace with a newer model. There are websites that sell used hospital equipment where you might run across one occasionally, but I think you are going to have a very difficult time finding one. The hospital where I worked had a contract with such a company for our used equipment; much of it was sold again by them in Mexico.

Just an FYI... I have been working with Mayo CLinic on a mapping system that would be integrated in with your cushion to give you real time feedback on your seating pressure points via a phone app. Its pretty slick. Unfortunately its a ways off yet before its commercially available.
