My 'keeper' 4T was a classified add in the local newspaper (they almost
NEVER show up there). It's a black, flawless body, that came with a 200/4,
35-70/3.5-4.5, 28/2.8 and 85/2, that I got in totem for $1100.
I agree that to find a truly nice 4T in either color for anything less than
$600 is probably going to involve a long search and perhaps a roll of the
dice.

You aren't likely to find a 4T in excellent condition for $450. That's more
like "roughed up" territory. Like my old 4T body. Perfectly functional, mind
you, but it looks like it went through a war. And it has!
I just picked up another 4Ti body from B&H a couple weeks ago. It was rated
in 9+ condition and they wanted (and got) eight bills for it. That's more
like the going rate. Now I trusted B&H would send me a camera in very good
condition and I was not disappointed. It shows nary a mark--obviously no one
used it much, a gift to dad who either lost interest or died. Should I ever
trade in my old 4T on, say, a new 4Ti I'd expect to be allowed three bills
or so. Why? Because the store could then turn it around as a "bargain" for
$450 or $575 or whatever.
But the good-looking gear will cost you more.
