Rei, yes absolutely excellent sources. The LUG too comes with built in 
advice and assistance. I've had both an M3 and a 135 from
fellow members and huge helpings of good advice on many items. Also sorely 
tempted by a number of other items, overtaken only by
other purchase excesses on occasions. The Bay too opens up a huge market 
place for non-USA buyers. Of course the usual caveats
apply. My experience there has always been extremely positive.

Cheers
Hoppy

my own experience on the secondary market:
for viso odds and ends, the 'bay and LHSA catalog have easily been
my best sources, with KEH running slightly behind.  

for whole leica cameras and lenses, the LUG has been especially
great.
