Maybe it's not the right place, but I'm having difficulties finding used L lenses around here. Please let me know if you are interrested...
Thanks

I don't know how anyone else feels about it but once you've shot with L lenses, you don't want to shoot with anything else. If you can't find used ones for sale, that might be why.
Try fredmiranda.com , excellent site for used lenses, some great deals on there too.
If your in the U.S. and near a major metro area, you can try Craigslist. I sold 2 of my L lenses there without any problems. There is quite a demand for L lenses as you might guess and I had offers right after posting them. I scan the ads myself sometimes and have noticed a few here and there.
As Bryan frequently recommends, Adorama often has quite a selection of refurbished L lenses for sale and during non-rebate times, they are a pretty good deal.
Happy hunting!
Talking about rebates... when do we get the rebates for the new year?
Hit up KEH.com, they usually have a nice selection of lenses. Their "bargin" level usually blows most EX and EX+ levels away.
Also don't limit yourself to L glass. Many of the non L glass series in non extream focal lengths are actually sharper than alot of the more exotic L glass, both zooms and primes.
I've got a 24-70 2.8L I'm trying to sell... :D

Todd - I'm pretty interested in the 24-70 2.8L...if you would, send me your asking price to budrowilson (at) yahoo (I don't usually post my e-mail, but I'm hoping the troll bots won't pick that up). I realize I'm not the original poster, but if he's not interested, I just may.
There are actually a couple on Kijiji right now...
Several years ago I purchased a lens for my Bronica from KEH. At that time they had a 30 day take back policy. If in 30 days I decided I did not want it they would refund my money, no questions asked. Just cost me shipping. They also had a 60 day warranty.
I do not know if they still do this but it is worth a call to find out.
I found them to be good to deal with.
I have experience with Craigslist too. I do find people selling all kinds of L lenses even including those keeper lenses like 300/4L IS, 85/1.2L II, 70-200/2.8L IS, 24-70/2.8 etc. Do have a glance every two or three days and you'll probably get your match in a short term. Just my little experience.

Yep. I bought my Canon 16-35/2.8L there, and was very happy with the transaction. http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/board/10
