Last weeked at SRS, they remained at £1799 but then Park Cameras ran the same offer of £1599.

Pentax K5
Pentax DA 18-55 Mk1, 50-200 (Samsung), 16-45, 55-300 Mk1, 35 f/2.4
Pentax MZ6 + FA28-90, FA50 f/1.4, M 50 f/1.7
Tamron 80-210mm & 28mm
That is certainly the applicable law to your contract with them.
£1599 from either SRS or Park Cameras would be my choice, (if I hadnt already bought one from SRS last year).

There has been some discussion on PU recently specifically regarding Pricing on new and used K1s and frankly speaking it is quite frustrating if not curious;
Eg
1. Digital Rev ( Pentax pro centre ): New £1539
https://store.digitalrev.com/product/pentax-k-1-body/MTEwNDYyNQ_A_A
2. Drones for less ( trust pilot checked 8.9/10): New £1500.
http://dronesforless.co.uk/cameras/pentax-k-1-dslr-camera-body-only/
Fully researched; accredited Trust Pilot , PayPal etc but returns can be complicated because products seem to be from shipped from US ( but not grey).
However this was very properly refuted by Dronesforless themselves and by numerous buyer reviews.
3. Bristol cameras New £1579
4. WEX - Discussed with WEX - not able to reduce: Used £1699
I asked Wex would they accept an offer below the price advertised by Digital Rev and they had a discussion and came back saying that £1699 was firm and regarding price of new p£ 1539 was below their cost price . ( WEX are a favourite of mine and one of the most respected retailers out their so their response can be trusted and MAYBE indicates a secondary influence,potentially - how old stock is and when it was purchased)
So the markets for second hand and new K1S are equally diverse pricewise; it is curious to say the least; I checked several other new and used K 1 offers, some at ridiculous prices but not one seller would change their prices.
However we all want the best price from a legitimate or trustworthy seller so shopping around can still save several hundreds of pounds and frankly speaking I saw enough to conclude at todays date
*. The main dealers are pricing in the range £1800 +/- £30
* however there are numerous offers on new at sub £ 1700 the most notable of which is £1539
* But buying used at Sub £1400 for an "as new" is reasonable and realistic based on my review on the net and the cluster of sellers offereing new at £1500- £1600
