I don't have one for sale, but the vast majority of people will recommend the Porter Cable 7424/7336. It is about $120 and it chosen by just about everyone getting started out. I actually have a Black and Decker orbital sander which is $50 and decent, but it's probably not as good as the PC. Only disadvantages are that its backing is completely rigid, backing plate isn't replaceable (5" only), and there isn't an abundance of info for speeds, etc. as there is with the PC.

I have a turtlewax orbital polisher, Ic an give that to you for 25 bucks plus shipping (I got it for 50 bucks). I used it once, just on my hood to apply and remove Zymol. It's decent for applying and removing polish/sealant/wax but for real swirl remover the Porter cable is the only way to go. I can post pictures of it later if you like when I get home. I have a bunch of extra bonnets and pads for it that I bought thinking that it would help. Here's a link to it that I found:
