I just received a Sonnar, and so my silver Planar goes on the block. Looking to get $600 for it, PayPal and shipping included.
Condition: It is in EX physical condition, and is coded (the nice way, not with magic marker like my others), and is detected fine by my M8.
I should mention that there is the slightest amount of focus ring play (or "wobble"). The focusing weight/effort is fine, but "at rest" there's just the tiniest amount of play. We're talking 1/3mm or so. This is apparently not uncommon with Zeiss ZM lenses (search around here and you'll see). It does not affect the performance of the lens in the slightest. The guy that sold it to me did not mention it in his ad, and I didn't hold it against him when I noticed it. I've probably spent too long writing about it, but I like to be complete in my descriptions.
What you get: lens, both caps, hood, boxes, all EX condition.
Here is a slideshow of pix from my flickr account, both 'of' and 'by', the planar:

(don't hold my development/scanning skills against the planar )
And here are a couple selected pictures of the Planar to whet your appetite (beautiful M2 not included):
