The more rare, the more monetary hair, obviously. This is a monthly list if anyone wants to get on it. http://www.supertool.com/forsale/may2007.htm

I bought mine about 12 years ago. You still need to watch grain direction with these, tear out can happen pretty quickly.

In the center of the bent section there is a hole that when pulled over a corner neatly rounds the corner over. A different size hole at each end gives two different radii. I picked it up at a local hardware stores' dollar table. I have a small tool about the size of an old churchkey that is bent at each end into a semicircle with one opening up and the other down.

Is Roy Underhill still on?!?!? He's a talented guy, I'm sure, but this used to be the only DIY program my girlfriend would watch - she couldn't wait for the times he would cut the beejeezus out of himself and just keep going. We always thought he would be a good SNL parody. A close second was the episode of Home Again where Bob Vila's carpenter, Ryley, showed up in a cast, barking orders at another carpenter. Eventaully he admitted that blade guards are there for a reason. Anyway, I picked up an old Stanley corner plane, with roundover and chamfer irons at a flea market a few years ago for less than 10 bucks. It's a long shot - but definitely your best value. Wow.
