I would suggest Ebay local for St. Louis or Craig's List. A lot of times, people go out of business or have to move and just need to get rid of stuff fast.

Regarding Routers:
It would depend on what you want to join. If you're cutting dimensional lumber (1x2, 2x4, etc..., that for which you'd use a compound miter saw) I don't see how you could make a cut straight enough for joinery, unless you purchased (or built) a large router table. And by that time, you've already spent $200, and you can buy a 10-inch contractor grade miter saw for that price. (Like the Dewalt 703)
If you're think about larger plywood/mdf, for which you'd use a table saw to get miter cuts, it might work for rip cuts, but straightness is always a factor. You'd be better off with a $70 circular saw and a fence.
If you have a specific project in mind, throw up a post. There are a lot of people that know much more about woodworking than I.
