Absolutely. A couple of weeks ago I bought a "brand new" Pentax Digital Spot meter, the version that was re-worked and re-calibrated by the Zone VI (Calumet) folks, for $425. Through any store I would have paid over $600, plus tax. Recently, I bought two Hasselblad backs, basically unused, one E12 back and one E24 back, for $550 (includes shipping) each. "Net" price from Hasselblad (best discount) is $1000 each. I also Bought a new E16 Hasselblad back for $550. Rare and discounted price from any dealer is $1000. It is e-a-s-y to find good prices on things you need and want. Just be very patient and very careful and be willing to not bid past your max on that thing you just cannot live without. You'll find you can live without it and another one, in better condition, will show up shortly, and you'll snag it for less than your max.
