When I first starting looking for an M4 last December, I was in Boston and visited Park Square Camera. Carl showed me one of those black-paint-somebody-died-or-climbed-mount-everest-they-only-made-twelve-of- these-babies specials for a mere $3800. Of course he was just goofing with me, but I didn't even want to touch the darn thing! What I did find was that by looking around a little, you can get an exc++ user M4 for between $1100 and $1500, which worked for me (just don't expect to find it on ebay).
