Wow - amazing post.

I suppose when you buy used there are no warranty issues to contend with right?

Good question. It depends. For example, Panasonic specifically states that the warranty is only for the original owner.

Should you buy a used lens that is still under warranty, whose warranty happens to be transferable, and is not a grey import, and whose seller gives you the original purchase receipt, and you happen to live in the same country it was originally bought from..... you can sleep well as you will probably, most likely, be covered.

I bought all my m43 lenses (except two) either used, or de-kitted from Japan. Obviously I do not care about warranties, if the price and condition are right. Have not had any regrets so far. None had a defect or was de-centered. Hope the good Karma stays with me a bit longer.
