Pentax camera bodies

I have two Pentax camera bodies that I would prefer to sell together. I have a Pentax K-7 (14mp) & a Pentax K-5 (16mp). I was given a quote by B&H of $550.00 for the two bodies. As you know they would like to make nice profit on these. I would like to put the money in my pocket rather than B&H. I'm not wanting to raise the price substantialy but feel I can do better than what they offered. I can show proof of the quote, made back in December. Both cameras are in great shape! If there is an interest I will post photos. The reason I'm selling is that last spring I purchased the Pentax K5II-s. I just received the new Pentax K-3. I have no need for four bodies. Make a reasonable offer, shipping will have to be covered also if interested.

No I have not. Never heard of that site. Thanks for the info. How is the weather up there? From St. Charles, near the Shiawassee National wildlife refuge.

Snowing right now...but that's the norm for us until April. Been a record year so far, snow-wise.

Just go to amazons site, look up your product and then look on the right sidebar for trade in value.

Hi Kim
How do you like the K3? I had a K5 but it was stolen before i could take any good shots with it. I am thinking of the K3 as a replacement. mikey

Mike,

I have taken limited photos with the K5II-s, but it is a great camera. This will be my backup camera now that I have the K-3. There are a few things I have to learn with this camera but I'm sure it will be great. The first real test will come later in the week with the K-3. Only shots have been through the living room window!
Sure you don't want to replace your K5 with mine plus a K7 as a backup? $600.00 plus shipping and you have a great camera + a backup! You would think the K5 is brand new! The K7 is in great shape. Both are in original box with everything that came with the camera. The K5 charger, & cables are in original packaging. I used battery charger for K7.

Mikey,

Finally got out with the K-3! It is a little different than the K5IIs, a little bit of a learning curve. got it figured out now, it is a great camera! Hope you like yours as well! There are some good deals out there so shop around!
