Sometimes it does pay, after all, to be 'sitting on the dock of the bay' with a fishing rod on a Friday evening... 
Just pulled this wonderful YK off the hook...
With Christmas on the doorstep and all, I wasn't prepared to fork out a whole lot of money, so I bid a modest sum of 40 euros shortly before the auction ended, half expecting the price to go up considerably in the final split seconds.
Much to my surprise, I got this gem for 30 euros, and that's including postage from the Netherlands.
Of course I won't jump for joy before I actually have the camera, but the seller seems respectable enough. Says the YK is in perfect order except that the winding lever is slow to return and must be pushed back after winding. I could surely live with that...
Edit: I just saw on flickr that Greyscale once got a YK for $0.01 ...
