Tom...

Like you, I do most of my buying through the mail, but there is also
Arden's Photo in Grand Rapids (the Cascade store)... they too have a pretty
poor selection.  There is an authorized Leica store on Telegraph Rd. in the
northern Detroit burbs that has a pretty good selection of used stuff. 
Sorry I can't remember the name of the place.  It's a greeting card store
with camera counter and processing in the back.  You have to look for it,
but from time-to-time you can find a bargain.
