I just received the K1000 w/A 80-200 lens for total of $147 including shipping that I purchased from ebay. I would be surprised if more than 1 roll of film was run through the camera. The only marks on the camera are finger print smudges on the metal, which can be wiped off. There is not a single scratch on the baseplate. Everything looks as new. My son now has a brand new camera to learn with. I'll take the zoom and give him a 50/1.4. I had been bidding on a brand new MIB K1000 outfit which came with a 50mm lens and case. It eventually sold for $260.00. At that price it was probably an equally good deal. I happen to have a spare eveready case & 50mm lens, though so I feel happy I did not win the higher bid.
