You'll have a hard time finding anyone to ship one as it's a major pia to. The cost to ship would be a few hundred and they would have to build a crate for it. Surfing CL and marketplace seem the best way to find them. The cheaper they are the faster you have to move. I got one for $300 once but missed out on another for the same price. Generally, anything under $1000 is good and anything over $1500 is too high. I personally didn't like having the hard top. It's too bulky to safely put on/off by yourself and somewhat defeats the purpose of having a convertible.

A few years ago someone offered a genuine Porsche hardtop shipping crate for sale. They wouldn't ship it.

Is that a Steven Wright joke?
