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...

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.<o:p></o:p>

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.
