My biggest bargain by far: I bought a box of camera gear at an estate sale for $200. In it were a Nikon F2, Nikon n8008s, Nikkor-UD 20, Nikkor 35, Nikkor 135, Vivitar 400mm in t2 nikon mount, Panagor 90mm in Canon FD mount, Canon 50mm f1.8 FD and a couple of rangefinder cameras and set of filters. I sold the Nikon F2 and Vivitar 400m and more than recouped my money. So essentially the rest was free.

A $20 CZ50mm f1.8 Pancolar, had to be shipped from Pakistan which doubled the price.
A CZ 58mm f2 Biotar and a Ludwid Meritar 50mm f2.9 for $65.

Wow, some great bargains here. I have to keep my eyes open when I'm in Europe this summer, not many bargains out here on the (Hawaiian) islands.
My best catch: I bought a lot of 20 c-mount lenses at an estate auction for $1300. In the lot were 2 Angenieux 25/0.95 lenses, sold one of them for $1300 and got to play for free with the rest

My best bargain was a Canon 135mm Leica-fitting rangefinder lens off eBay - poorly illustrated and without any detailed description. I was the only bidder at 99 pence (about $1.50). It turned out to be in really good condition, and the genuine Leitz screw to M bayonet adapter on it was a welcome surprise and bonus!
My next-best bargain (a few years ago) - from a camera shop - was a Konica Autoreflex T with a 40mm Makro Kilar and the necessary screw/bayonet adapter ... but that cost £9 ($13.50).
Happy days!

$100 Vivitar Series 1 200MM M42
$100 Flek 35mm f/2.4
