Took a quick look around for Z180u and voila - here is one, listing# 310095883789. Not exactly what I consider cheap, and not exactly what I call "well presented item", though.
That's what I mean about the prices varying wildly; that price is ridiculous! Try this one: 220310306112. It's got only 1 bid at $15 with less than 20 hours to go. Ignore much of the technical data they have listed because it's inaccurate.

Nice shots, Austintatious. Good to see that you are enjoying it.
A couple of other good tips too, thanks!
I've yet to develop the couple of films from my outing, but had a problem already, well a design thing I guess. I roll my own film when I want D100 and for this auto DX cam I needed a few ISO100 cassettes. A couple of those that I used were 24 shot, but wound on with around 40 frames from my loader.
For some reason (that I can't understand) this cam rewinds after the number of frames on the DX panel is reached, so my 40ish frame films in 24 cans rewound after 24.
I've never seen any other cam use those contacts, but on this model, there they are, two pins not normally seen. Very irritating.
Perhaps the shots will make up for this.

Well, I processed my D100 (in rodinal 1:50) from my visit to Lanzarote.
A couple here:
Nice detail on the view from our apartment, much better than a boring sea-scape don't you think?
I love the light on this. This shot is far better than my digi efforts from the same point.
It's done very well. I look forward to printing some up at 8x10.
It's a keeper and will be my car cam for a while....

The key thing in fidgets first post was the cost. $20........ The above mentioned cameras are all well over this amount. The Yashica T4 has a cult following on Epay and they sell for over $150 to $200. Never mind the Contax or the Fuji cost.
True for most -- but the Minolta Explorer Freedom Zoom 28-70 mentioned above is available on eBay at BIN $15.99.
