It's not a problem that you own several canon lenses. You'll get a fair price on the used market. An you will get a Pentax for a fair price at the used marked because it's a not very well known brand. I met many people who said - have you got a Pentax?? I'd would have thought you'd have gone for a DSLR! (meaning people automatically assumes that Pentax = P&S. Which is often true. Not many people realizes that Pentax (almost) made 4 DSLR's by now). But then again - i you have ambitions as a professional - stick with Canon - most pros do. The alternative to D300 seems to be a Canon D10 or D20 - or a Pentax *ist D.
Buy from annother country. I Got my D from Berlin, Germany, using my internet connection and a bank transfere.

I just want to make it clear... I DO like Pentax and I DO like my Canon BUT, my Canon (300D) misses some very important (to me) features that i would like to have. The light meter is much better in pentax then canon. It's a really hard decision for me not because i like my canon THAT much... it's because i have a lot of gear for it.... 3 lenses... flash (sold it just today). It will be a big mission to sell it all. BUT the stylist and a modeller won't wait.. they need a photographer... you see... i can't buy anything without selling everything. I will not be able to afford 2 cameras. Sticing with Canon ? the 300D is dead (let's be real.. it is...) on the market... no more firmware upgrades and the functionality lacks lots of things (that were added in the 350D) but the price of change is too high... the ergonomics of 350D is VERY bad for me. if i stick to canon - i will have to go for 20D and i really... really can't afford it... The problem is, that in israel there are no normal stores that will sell you only a body package but the full kit. for that they always overcharge... Bottom line - it's not a flame... I'm really in a hard situation and in a big dilema. I do want to have only 1 system and use the great Pentax lenses i already have. It's really hard to run with 2 bags with 6 lenses and all that stuff... i'm actually convinced already that i want the istDS or DS2 but now it's the "go go selling" thing that bothers me....
