You decided that this is a good time to buy some TIPS on the secondary market and you picked out which one to buy. Now where do you buy it?

If you don't want to hold your TIPS to maturity, you have to sell it on the secondary market.

Selling is the opposite of buying. A good time to buy TIPS is usually a bad time to sell. Between two TIPS bonds, if one issue looks like a better deal to buy, it's usually also a bad choice to sell.

The news media and the U.S. government publish data on TIPS. I also created several spreadsheets to help with the calculations.
