I don't know how cheap you expect a bit of quality shimano engineering to be.
But I'd look at a contemporary Alivio - current Alivio stuff is I think very close to what was once branded Deore.
I'd buy something like that new as you should be able to get free postage - not worth bothering with the bay as a rule on that sort of thing as you would most likely have to pay £3 or so postage on top.

If you want new you can’t get much cheaper than this:

I can’t see any cheap Shimano/SRAM 9 speed rear mechs, they are bloody expensive!
If you wanted 10 speed, you can buy cheap;

Just edit it before hitting post (to the end of the prod description usually).... see above!

@Kernow_T , check out rd-m310 (Altus) and rd-m410 (Alivio). They're rated to 8-speed, both will do 9 happily.

I don't think the OP is looking for advice on what type of RD to buy. He's after one someone (on here) has to sell (or has spotted second-hand). Clue is the sub-forum title.

How quickly do you need one ?
