Keep checking eBay as new bongos will be out for auction soon.
Below is one the recent bongos sold by eBayer "colombianpercussion." I bought my maracas, guiro and claves from This gentelman and they're indeed the best instruments in the world.

ASK FOR GONZALITO, DO NOT EXPECT THIS PLACE TO BE A NICE HI-TECH PLACE. THIS NOTHING BUT A GOOD ARTESAN IN COLOMBIA MAKING GOOD QUALITY BONGOS. THIS IS THE BEST BONGO I HAVE EVER SEEN.
REMEMBER WHEN YOU CALL HIM, HE DOESNT SPEAK SPANISH AND THE PRICE IS $350.00.

I guess my tastes aren't sohpisticated enough to really appreciate this groove. I do admire his ability to play all the toys, though.
