I'm very happy with my N6 as well, except for the lack of a fingerprint scanner. I didn't think much of it until I tried it on a friend's 6P. If I envy him for anything, it is the fingerprint scanner. I use Smart Lock to minimize the need to manually unlock the phone. The fingerprint scanner would make all those efforts unnecessary.
All things considered, especially the current price, is the Nexus 6 still a good buy?

I think I may in interested in going with a Nexus 6 sometime soon...
So how much do you guys feel is a good price for a used Nexus 6 in good condition? $295 maybe? or is that too much for used?
The prices seem to be all over the place on eBay

I'd consider spending a bit more and get a new one from Amazon. The 32GB version is $349.99.

Would not buy used.
Of course if the price is dirt cheap......
Expect to pay under $300 for a new Nexus 6 right now.
Prices will fall over time, of course.
I paid ~$700 about a year ago for the first one.
$290 for the second.
Guess cellphones have a half-life of 9 months.

It's a pure Google phone so if I need warranty, I'll contact Google first(The Google support paper with Support Google.com/nexus is in the box)...but in the box it has the Motorola warranty also. https://support.google.com/store/troubleshooter/3070579?rd=1#ts=3070585
It was a brand new XT1103 in a sealed factory box. Bought off of Mobilepros1 still selling the project fi version for $349. I don't see a warranty on that listed tho.

I currently have a Blackberry Z30 as my daily driver, along with a Nexus 7 2013 that gets pretty heavy use. I'm thinking of either waiting to buy a Priv, or selling my Nexus 7 to try and get a Nexus 6 sooner. (There's no way I'm selling the Z30, it's a pre production one made in Canada...on my birthday, no less. I found it on Kijiji.) What do you guys think? Wait for a Priv, or get a Nexus 6 sooner?

T-Mobile just announced unlimited video streaming. Can you possibly think of a better phone to stream video on than the Nexus 6???

Yeah... those deals... ug... 
I have a Nexus 6 that I got shortly after launch. And me, like most everyone else who bought one back in the day, are kind of left out in the cold. If you can pick up a NEW one for less than $300, that pretty much destroyed the used market. Nearly everyone who had one would end up selling it for a big loss. Hell, I have a small crack in the corner of my glass panel (closed quarter circle crack across the top corner, so its cosmetic). A new panel is around $200 and I am guessing that if I were to try to sell this one, I wouldn't even be able to recoup the cost of the screen replacement.
And I am really eyeing the 6P, of course, the thing seems awesome. But I am having a REALLY hard time justifying the purchase to myself because the 6 runs so damn well. It's fast, smooth, gets great battery life. And I disagree with those 'cons' everyone mentions. I've had no problems with the camera and the quality of pictures it takes. Other than the low screen brightness (which I can tweak with a widget), the screen has not done me wrong. Oh, and I got giant mits, so the size is nothing other than a BIG plus for me. Even on a G3, it was a little cramped when I typed.
So I can think of no reason to get rid of my Nexus 6. Well, other than 'because new'... which is a powerful force in and of itself. But for the prices that people can get a Nexus 6 for now, it's a crazy value. I've said it plenty of times before, but the Nexus 6 completely wipes the floor with any phone that is available for the same price you can get it at now.
