Alex beat me to saying it. If you can be patient for what you want to come around, DPC members usually offer very fair deals to one another. I think I only have one lens I bought new at a local shop. Others came from:

1 refurb from Adorama
2 used from other DPC members
1 used from Ebay
1 used from Craigslist
1 used from a local shop

Yes, sort of. The buy/sell forum is a benefit for paying members.

A good on-line retailer that deals in used equipment is KEH. Their prices are going to be higher than buying through a private party, but they are *very* reputable. Another good place is fredmiranda.com.

I have bought 2 of my lens from a guy at the Flea Market...don't laugh...he has a good reputation and was a photography teacher at a local college...and he introduced me to my favorite lens and gotten me 2 ribbons with it... ;)
