That's pretty torn up. On pf, good looking k-7s are going for 400. I personally wouldn't ask for more than 300 on a body like that. Especially because it likely needs a good cla. You can upload images to pf and use their exif tool to see the actuations. I did this recently and was shocked to see my year old k7 @ over 30k. I kept my k7 as a backup when I finally got a k5. If my k5 died or broke at least I can keep shooting. That was worth the 300 to me. I paid 500 for the body last winter and loved it so much I knew I had to get a k5 and thus continues my love affair with pentax. I've sold thousands of dollars of shots off my k7, so it def paid for itself quickly. And I though my k7 was looking kind of sad..... :)
