I've bought OM lenses from keh.com (prices on non-collectable stuff is good but there will be some tax). I'd go to them again.
eBay bargains = fungus and disputes (or maybe I've just been unlucky).
Make sure you have an 50 f1.8. It's tiny, sharp as hell, cheap and just very nice to use.
For the f1.4: the later the better - the added coating etc makes a difference. Serial numbers tell you how old it is and early lenses had a silver bezel I think. It makes pretty portraits but is a bit soft.

Hey Nefarious, my favourite 35mm outfit was the OM-1 system, and my multipurpose portrait lens was the Elicar 90mm f2.5 (OM mount of course). Really a stunning lens.
On checking back, it seems like I'd recommended this before:

Also, looking to buy an OM mount, 1.4 50mm. Plenty on ebay, but does anyone have any tips for buying second hand lenses?
