I picked up one from KEH in their BGN rating, the thing looks great, 
works great, only has a few minor "brassing" marks on it and those are 
very minor.  I paid 750 a few months ago.

I admit I do like the camera, a lot.  It fits much better with a long 
lens like the 90 summicron or a heavy lens like a Noctilux.
