I just picked up a Elmar 50mm 3.5 on craigslist for $100. It was advertised as having a bit of dust between the elements. It looks a bit like pollen; tiny yellow spots on it. I've shot much worse. Hopefully it doesn't cause too many issues. The glass definitely looks nice otherwise

As he was a ways away, he offered to ship the lens. The package arrived today and felt surprisingly heavy. It turns out the seller threw in a FED 2 he had CLA'd a few years ago. It looks to be in great condition.

After getting burnt on a few purchases recently, it is was really nice to have someone throw in something like this. It totally made my day.
 
I had the same experience as well, long time back i bought a pentax LX Body only off eebay, about 200$, ship worldwide to my country. That was my first big transaction that ship across country, so I was kind of worry if the item never reach me.
But, it really did arrived, with extra hidden case (I almost throwed it away) which inside, a mint 50mm SMC f1.2 as a bonus. The seller confirm me that it is a bonus, what lucky i am.
