First of all, let me say that Cannonball has some great advice too: use the TSN classifieds. I've purchased a couple of items from other Saabnetters and I sold a set of wheels. Great resource.
It's pretty simple, and the best advice is this: be careful and prudent.
Go to ebay (.com) and create a user ID. If you're comfortable with it, create a paypal account. The Paypal account will make payment easier and faster, but remember that it's one more place where your finances can be potentially hacked. (I've been trouble free on ebay and with paypal, but I understand that it might be a bit of a stretch for some to type their account numbers into a websites boxes. It's not much different than using internet-based banking.)
Then, browse around ebay. If you're looking for a Saab ACC unit for a 9000... try Saab ACC or Saab Climate for search terms. Like Bill said, you have to know what your looking for. Some people give you a whole bunch of information, and others give you a picture and a disclaimer. Check the sellers feedback (given as a number and a % positive from other ebayers.) You'll be surprised at what's out there, and that one thing you just can't find at any store, might not be on ebay either.
Feel free to email me if you'd like to continue this discussion. (Click on my name above.)
Cheers, and best of luck,
