I'd try eBay (as already suggested), local classified ads (in my area, MINI ads in the paper are becoming increasingly common), and local "auto trader" mags. Beyond this, maybe talk to your dealer or other local dealers who may be willing to point you toward some of the same local wholesalers/used car lots that they use. In my area (MA), there seem to be a few used dealers that always end up with the MINIs that come back to local dealers. It seems that MINI dealers do not want to sell used MINIs, but they always use the same places to sell their demonstrators, returns, returns for upgrades, etc.

It's just a guess, but I'm thinking that MCO might not be your best and only hope as the vast majority of people here are wrapped up in the process of selecting, optioning, and ordering cars. There don't seem to be too many immediate gratification junkies who just want a good car soon. Anyhow, it can't hurt to post here, but you obviously do need other venues.

Good luck! The used car market is pretty awful now...even for MINIs

I guess folks get kinda bent outta shape when they see Minis on E-Bay. The few times I've seen them, they have been sold. The last I saw was an S model that went for $22,000. There's so much to consider when buying sight unseen.
Good luck with your sale.....why did you decide to sell so quickly?
