I've bought a B2, 2006 as well, same bike you are asking about without pedals, for $3400 new last year. 

However...mine came with the zipp 404's ($2000), so if you subtract the cost of the wheelset, you're basically paying more than full retail for a used frame.  Based on that, I don't think it's a great deal. 

Edit:  Don't get me wrong.  It's a sweet ride.

Retail probably is...reality isn't.  Now that there's a 2007 B2 that's a soooper hot new model, if you can still find a 2006, they're going to relatively inexpensive.  That's how I got mine.

2006 B2 with 404 zipps. I almost bought this bike just because of the Zipps. But for this price I wanted a carbon bike.
