FWIW, Ffordes have a 2nd hand IIS with very low shutter count for £479 - tempting but can't justify it for myself .
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

There is also a second hand K5II for £379.

Jessops do have new K5IIs for £399 (intermittently).

Good spot - except that at present they are selling them at £349.97 and it looks as if there are quite a few in various stores - now I'm really tempted

Yes, that is unfortunate

Very tempting, in fact tempting enough to order one for collection !

Why do these things always appear when I have expensive bills to pay off

Fantastic deal on the k5iis

Buy 'em all before I am tempted too much!

Indeed, and a reminder that I am saving for the FF body.

Ordered mine from the supplied Jessops link on Thursday (thanks jeallen01). No seal on box, Shutter count 8, battery charged and installed, serial 497xxxx, build 03/2014, V1.00, no signs of menu use, electronic level seems fine, chassis warmer to the touch than my K5 (thicker plastic coat?) and 20g heavier. No complaints, but yet to test it thoroughly.
