Saw that when I was selling my identical set. Didn't help much with the guide price! They were over £1000 at one point so a bargain now.

And to think they were $199.95 when I bought mine just a few years ago.
Why would you pay GBP800+ ?
Best regards

Whilst they are somewhat better than the £5 chinese ones I got, they don't have any advantage over my old Jessops ones (I actually prefer the lens release controls on the Jessops model!)
As they don't even have the electrical contacts £80 would be overpriced IMO, but perhaps there are collectors who might disagree with me on that.

It's just the standard K set. They are a little scarce, but crop up on Ebay from time to time at around £50 (or less if you get lucky ).
As you say, no better in practice than a cheap set, but all metal and look cool with older lenses

Possibly the best you can get (sometimes) are the
Pentax PKA fit Triplus (probably Tamron) Pz-AF Extension Tubes
Very well made and have all the contacts, so no need to
sand anything off like on the cheaper ones. AF doesn't
work though (no screwdrive).
A set sold recently for £98.50 (posted) on ebay.

I'm currently considering if I should sell mine

Just a few weeks back picked up from a local camera shop a set of Jessops PKA ones for less than £50. Had to scratch off the anodised finsih to make the last electrical contact! Work fine now
