I bought an M4 two weeks ago in Ex+ condition for $850 US. I'm getting an older 35 'cron with a user barrel and perfect glass for $400 US (or less if I can haggle a bit), both from a local dealer. This compares to an Ex++ M3 with a DR that I got from the same dealer for $1350 US. So, there are decent prices out there, I just don't think you'll see them advertised on dealers' Web sites or Shutterbug ads. Paul
