I was thinking you'd do a quick price search and then have a good handle
on making a private sale. The lens sells used at KEH for $600 to $700
in VG to EX maybe $550 in Bargain condition. I don't expect a retailer
to buy it for that much but $100 is a low ball offer. Like I said,
put it on ebay. It's not as convenient as it used to be but that's
where you'll get the best price.

I agree about profit and overhead but still think $100 for the 16-50 was

Not surprising. Your expectation is based on what you paid for it new.
They're thinking about how much they can sell it for, and they're not
going to offer more than half that (or less), because they have to cover
their overhead and still make a profit.
K5 with a kit lens *might* bring in $450 on eBay ... if you have the
original box & all the goodies.

Holy cow. Just got back from the local photo shoppe. I was expecting a
low quote for the K5 because the bottom is all scuffed up. I was NOT
expecting a lowball on the 16-50. They offered $180 for the body and
$100
for the lens - due to the "low resale value of Pentax these days" and a
very tiny nick on the front of the lens. For a full package offer of
$280
I'm just going to keep 'em and figure out my next move. Sheesh!

You should buy yourself a Leitz lens. It's a very good investment
because afterwards everything else seems cheap.
I did look at some a while back.
Is there a good web site listing all available/made?
Something like Boz's site?
