OTOH, while KEH's price for a K-5 (EX condition) is just above $250, that DOES NOT INCLUDE a battery grip & spare battery ... that would cost another $100 from KEH. So I don't think your $300 asking price is out of line. If I wanted & needed a K-5 *WITH GRIP & EXTRA BATTERY* I'd be willing to

Boris, I agree with Peter as to your asking price, at least here in the U S of A. I recently sold to KEH, a pristine K-10 with under 3 K shutter actuations, in the original box with all that came in the box and no signs of usage at all - they gave me $61 USD ! I had previously advertised it

The K-5II I just got from KEH looks like new, works like new has slightly under 2900 shutter actuations, and came with  a grid screen installed.  Hell, it even smells new... I have no idea what caused it to be marked down to bargain rating, maybe it was the grid screen. I know the K-5
