This morning, I was surfing sites for used M8's and generally found a $2400 
to $3995 range. I would find it difficult to buy without a warranty, without 
seeing it, and without a knowledgeable M8 user checking it out. 

Maybe some of you have a sense of tried and true vendors you might deal with 
on such a purchase. I saw several M8's at B&H and a few at Adorama.
