You are considering this gorgeous Olympus EEM 126 Format camera with its D.Zuiko 36mm f/2.8 lens. I'm going to stop short of calling this example mint but it is darn close. It is almost certainly in better shape than the one you have now. There are absolutely no dents or dings and only the slightest traces of paint wear.

 

This is not your typical 126 camera. This one is quite heavy for its size, using mostly metal in its construction. This camera "feels the part". Rock-solid and a pleasure to hold and use. The experience is more like using a classic rangefinder than anything else. Similar examples have been selling for $99+ over at the dark side. I'm asking just $49 for this collection worthy example.

 

I found the following at Camerawiki:

The Quickmatic EE S was a simple viewfinder camera with a hot shoe and a selenium meter driving a programmed exposure (Electric Eye or EE). The meter window was around the lens. There were two variants, one with a Zuiko 36mm f:2.8 lens, the other with a Zuiko 36mm f:3.5 lens.

The Quickmatic EE M was a similar camera with motorized advance and a socket for flash cubes instead of the hot shoe. It only existed with the 4 element Zuiko 36mm f:2.8 lens.

The Quickmatic 600 was another simple viewfinder camera, with a socket for flash cubes and a CdS meter driving a programmed exposure. The lens was a 5 element Zuiko 38mm f:2.8. Two variations existed with different locations for the release button.
