Where can I buy unique pre-written articles for article marketing?

Unique pre-written articles can be found in a number of places online. Some of the best sources are article marketplaces. Below are the 3 I've had experience with:
1) Daily Article (http://dailyarticle.com/index.php)
Here, there are a number of articles available on all sorts of topics and buyers can purchase articles that are guaranteed to be unique. Before articles are published for sale, they are reviewed by editors and run through Copyscape. Articles are sold once with full rights.
Whenever you want to purchase articles on specific topics, you can browse through categories or use the site's search function. Articles are listed with titles, summary (or introduction), and snippets (that are not indexed by search engines so you are still guaranteed of uniqueness). Once you find an article you want to purchase, you can add it to your shopping cart and pay through Paypal. You can then download it and use it as you please.
Pricing: Writers set the prices for their own articles so there is no standard rate. Typically, the articles are priced anywhere from $8 to $30 each, sometimes even higher. For buyers who have a tight budget, there is also a bargain bin where articles are priced anywhere from $3 to $7.50.
2) Constant Content (http://www.constant-content.com/)
This website works pretty much the same way as Daily Article. The main difference is that buyers can choose between Usage, Unique, and Full Rights. Buyers who purchase usage rights are allowed to publish articles and add links to them. The main disadvantage is that the article continues to be sold on the site while articles that are purchased with unique and full rights are removed from the site once payment has been sent. Most people prefer buying full rights because, although they are more expensive, buyers are allowed to change portions of the articles as well as take credit for the writing.
One distinct feature of Constant Content is the keyword analysis graph per article.
Pricing: Like in Daily Article, writers here set the prices for their own articles. Usage rights are typically between $5 and $7 while full rights prices can go over $20 each. Nevertheless, there are some bargains that will allow you to purchase full rights at around $8 to $12.
3) Article Sale (http://www.articlesale.com/)
Article Sale is a relatively new article marketplace. Articles are much cheaper here. The main disadvantage is that the site does not take responsibility for anything posted on the site. Therefore, articles for sale are not edited or Copyscape verified before they are posted. There is also no shopping cart so buyers need to purchase one article at a time. This could be quite expensive if the buyer has a premium or business account in Paypal. Furthermore, article snippets are not protected from search engine indexing software so buyers normally have to rewrite titles and the first few sentences of each article to make sure that they are unique. If that's something you don't mind doing, you can find a few bargains on Article Sale.
Those are the three article marketplaces I've tried so far.
You can also get some pre-written content in Digital Point's Buy, Sell, or Trade forum (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=76). There are some gain bargains here but you have to keep in mind that you'll be buying directly from sellers so there are no 3rd party editors or proofreaders involved. You'll just have to take the seller's word regarding the uniqueness and quality of the articles. Articles here are typically $3 to $5 each and you can find users selling in bulk. (Note: Read the forum's guidelines as you need to meet certain requirements before you can participate in this section)
You may also want to try going directly to freelancers. One I've tried so far is Content Pro Articles. I found her on Twitter (http://twitter.com/contentpro11) and purchased one of her pre-written articles. Since then, I've been requesting for articles on specific topics through direct message. Her prices typically range from $5 to $10.
