if you are in the US or Canada, try Craigslist for your area and nearby towns. I've gotten a lot of my kayak gear that way. Look for a basic roof rack like a Thule or a Yakima brand --check their company websites to find which models fit your vehicle. You can easily post an ad yourself in Craigslist under the "boats" section saying "Wanted: kayak roof rack". Some people sell old racks when they buy a new car that doesn't fit the old rack. Also, many kayaking and outdoor sport clubs have online newsletters with classified ads selling used equipment.

Truthfully, the good racks usually don't sell that cheaply even used -- you might want to also check gear closeout catalogs like Sierra trading Post to see if you can get a good price on a discontinued new model.
I got my Thule rack used but bought the J-type kayak cradle attachment new on sale (marked down from $140 to $99).

Do your self a favor: buy a rack that will hold both kayaks and have it installed. If you try to tie the kayaks onto the roof and they fall off, either they will be destroyed by traffic following you, and you will then have an insurance claim to fill out, or they will rub against the car's paint and ruin the paint job and even wear some of the material off the kayaks, weakening them. The roof rack is inexpensive insurance.

Well besides the regular craigslist and ebay, I suggest paddleing.net.
You can also check into kayak clubs in your area. Many of the clubs websites post used equipment people are trying to sell.
