Think it is basically a crap shoot. A year or so ago I bought an ebay'd M4 
with 50 mm DR and 35 mm Summaron 2.8 w/eyes and a 90 mm Summicron for much 
less than each piece would sell for separately. It was total luck. All were 
clean as a whistle except for the engraved SS# of the deceased owner. Came 
from a camera store out west, gave me great service. Shortly thereafter, bid 
and won a 35 mm Summicron that looked brand new. The focus tab shattered two 
days after I received the lens! 
Go figure.
