I found my pair* of Brother color laser MFPs on Craigslist, being listed by a small business that was getting rid of them. I think you'll have a lot better luck finding them via some method like that than by checking thrift shops.

That said, they are pretty giant, being designed for small/medium office use. However, I'm not sure there even is such a thing as a "small" color laser, since they inherently have to contain four sets of rollers instead of just one.

(* if you find somebody selling more than one of the same model, definitely get two so you have one for spare parts.)
