Can someone point me to a good website that has cheap, used pistol clips? I'm specifically looking for the Sig Sauer Mosquito. The cheapest I can find is $40.

  Don't know about used, but you can buy them from CDNN, Midway, and probably Brownell's. Those would be your best bets. CDNN is usually the cheapest.
  
  Do a search on gunbroker to see if there are any used for a good price, but $40 a pop sounds about right for that model of handgun.
  
  Also just for future reference, you don't get alot of respect around gun forums using the inproper terms. The Sig Mosquito uses a magazine, not a clip. Steyr-Hahn M1912 handguns and broom-handle mausers use clips. They are different.

  F-Trooper05,
  
  Hello, and welcome to the forums here on Gunbroker.
  
  I was not aware that the Sig Mosquito took a "clip"...I am sure it takes a "Magazine" though.
  
  First off, look on the auction side. Then there would be Midway for your best choice, or perhaps Target Sports(CDNN).
  
  Best

  Sig magazines are generally expensive. $40 isn't so crazy.
  
  Good advice given on where to look for NEW magazines.
  
  Outside of military surplus, its also generally difficult to find any retailer that sells USED magazines for modern guns.
  
  Your best bet for a USED magazine is the auction site right here.
  
  In terms of "clip" vs "magazine", I'll cut you some slack [;)], but FYI, here is the difference. A CLIP is just a piece of metal that holds the rounds together for easy loading into a MAGAZINE.
  
  A MAGAZINE is usually a box-shaped box with a spring and follower inside. (Magzines can also be banana-shaped, like on an AK-47 rifle, or tubular, like on a pump-action shotgun). The MAGAZINE not only holds rounds, but it also feeds them under spring action into the guns action. Magazines may be detachable (like the one for your Sig), or non-detachable (like the one inside a pump action shotgun or lever-action rifle).
  
  "Broomhandle" Mauser pistols with 7.62x25mm pistol clip:
  
  
  Note that the CLIP, is used to load rounds into the guns internal MAGAZINE, which you can see located in front of the triggerguard.
  
  Detachable 9mm pistol magazine:
