As I recall that 40/2 was advertised on Philip Greenspun's photo.net site,
which is probably one of the better places to shop for used gear from
individuals.
http://photo.net/gc/
There's a section where members of the site can report on their experiences
with individual sellers and buyers. (Tho' sometimes it degenerates into
whining and name calling, it's generally useful.) The site is also home to
the neighbor-to-neighbor consumer alert site for photo gear shoppers to
report their experiences, pro or con, with dealers. You can get a pretty
reasonable idea of a mail order dealer's reputation by reading a number of
posts.
Glad the deal worked out for you.

Today I found the remedy to the muscle cramps in my fingers and toes which
resulted from them being so tightly crossed for the last two weeks. My
Olympus 40mm f2 arrived and it was as described. Excellent in all ways
except for a ding and a dent in the filter ring. It was from an off list,
non eBay source unknown to me.
