I got all of this via the bidding process for under $2,000, and the fork, Ultegra SL, and wheels were new.
Ditto;

I recently scored a Lynskey made "Planet X" titanium frame and I am in the process of gathering all the bits to build the bike using eBay. I'm going with a Shimano Ultegra SL 6600 "Ice Grey" groupset, including crankset, brakes, shifters, deraillaurs, BB, chain, & cassette for about $650. The bike will have Look Keo pedals, a Cane Creek S-3 headset and FSA compact handlebars & seatpost. I should be well under $1600 total including the frameset.

This would be impossible to do at retail.
