There's loads of Rollei 35 at work which have suffered the same fate....The photographer forgets to wind-on, then pushes the lens assembly back into the body, thus breaking the mechanism. Great little cameras, suprisingly heavy tho. I think most user examples at work go for around £50-60 in the shop.
I got an XA with matched flash for 99p on ebay. I've had some really sharp results from it. A nice little camera....The 'non zoom' 35mm film Mju's have sharp lenses too.
It's scarey how medium format film gear has plumeted in price. I remember lusting after kit whilst at uni in the early 90s....and the same stuff is now selling for less than a DSLR body only.
