I have been joking about selling a kidney in order to pay for a K-5, but that may not be necessary. I took a little inventory last night and what I found surprised me. I've accumulated a fair amount of stuff in my pursuit of legacy glass for my K200D (and later K-x). A rather SILLY amount of stuff. Even eliminating the stuff that I really want to keep for myself, I seem to have acquired about 22 Pentax bodies, 3 Olympus bodies, 3 Canon bodies, and 1 Minolta body. And then there are the lenses for the above. (I've also got three Yashica rangefinders and a couple of SX-70s along with a few unusual items like a Walz Wide, psuedo rangefinder and a Zeiss Ikon Contessamat.) Nothing terribly valuable individually, but collectively I think I should have little trouble in amassing $1500. I've been sentimentally hanging onto my Mamiya TLR bodies and lenses, and I have special project in mind for them so I will sell them only as a last resort.
Suffice it to say that I may be able to keep the area Post Office busy for a while.
