There's got to be a couple of audiophile clubs in a city that big, see if you can find any and ask them. In some audio clubs members will chip in and buy items like this for all members to use. Maybe you know some guys that would go in partners, that way the price is reduced for each person.
Good luck, TISH
P.S. About 10yrs ago I had to go to San Diego for some medical tests, I saw an ad on Audiogon for cable burn in service there. So I brought my cables with me and went to this guys house and he put them on his cable cooker and I came back a week later and picked them up. Can't remember how much I paid but it wasn't much cause I'm pretty cheap.LOL
