There are no CLE's currently available on *bay...my first location for pursuit would be KEH for their warranty. Beyond that, I would only look to the membership here for parts, cameras and succor. There is nothing better... honest.

I just saw one a couple of days ago on eBay - it was a $399 BIN.
There were also a couple on KEH last week when I checked, one with a non-operational meter.

I myself am looking for a 40mm 'cron for my CL, Leitz or Minolta version - still need funds for it though, which is why I keep an eye out for the CL or CLE either here, eBay, or KEH.

edit: I just checked KEH - there's a BGN one an EX with "inoperative meter" currently online. Not sure if that means they have it in stock at this moment as I've never bought from them yet.

Wait till after the new year, I always find that during the holiday season sales of secondhand stuff slows a bit as everyone is too busy to list them and post so they wait a bit. Things will pick up then.
 
On the *bay there is currently a french seller with a fine looking CLE, with manual, rokkor 40 f2.0 and a non-CLE minolta flash. His comments contain some hyperbole..."better than the m-7", but whatever.

KEH still has the EXC with inoperative meter and the "bargain" fully operational.
 
Two now available on the *bay...one looks perfect but pricey, while the other has well documented minor scuffs and low-priced. I love these things and the fact that I am posting is no reflection on the seller or buyer as I cannot justify the purchase of any more and I hope others can take advantage where I cannot. I am under a death threat if I bring home any more CLE's...the reason I am breathing now is because they all look alike and my wife does not know that there are more than one! Unless she does know and she is making me think she doesn't which means my cover is blown and she is timing her acknowledgment for maximum psychological effect...oh, holy cow...I hope not! Best of luck...
 
Uh, the above topic headline is completely inaccurate...there are ten CLE's on *bay right now...some in full packages...also several individual lenses. Also, kind of rare are three leather pouches with straps...but they say CL/CLE so I don't know if they are the vertical (CL) or the horizontal (CLE) style pouch and strap. Someone emptied their closet and is liquidating some great stuff. Enjoy!
 
Only five currently available on the 'bay... and one is in better condition than any that I currently own...it looks brand new. Just sayin'...once again, I have no vested interest in any of these, just like the look of any and all CLEs.
