I guess I've had good luck with shopgoodwill.com. I've bought at least twelve cameras there, and only three were clunkers. And from two of those I got nice lenses: an Oreston 50/1.8 and a Rikenon 55/1.4 with bokeh like butter. The third--a Petri Half 7--was a total bust, but I consider the $5.00 I paid for it a contribution to a worthy charity and don't feel bad about it at all.
I've bought two Electro 35s there: an original model and a GSN. From the original I learned how to replace the POD, and now both work perfectly.
My last purchase just arrived today: a set of Yashikor auxiliary lenses and viewfinder for the Electro 35. I'll probably never use the lenses, but I'm going to experiment with the viewfinder, which has nice, clear 28mm and 50mm frame lines, on other cameras.
Think of it as a relatively inexpensive way to relieve GAS pains.

I stopped looking after I got a couple of real dogs, i.e. missing parts, etc. However, when I contacted them, they did refund my money.
I helped them with a few items, but they really have no idea what they are selling.
I did score a Fuji 690 low because it was jammed, turned out the body shutter was closed, still needed a CLA, so a lot of work to sell it for a few bucks.
It is interesting how people bid stuff up.
