Quite a lot because it doesn't come up much. One sold on Ebay for over £400 a few weeks back, but that's unusual.
There is a current auction for one on Ebay now

Worth watching this as it will give you a pretty good idea depending on the condition of yours, though Ebay can be up and down obviously.
The US forum suggests an average of just under $500, but US prices aren't the same as here.

Sorry - my mistake. I linked to the 'K' version and yours is the 'A'. This should be yours.

One of these sold for that price a couple of weeks back so worth quite a lot by the look of it.

Thinking about it and looking at your last post are you sure your lens isn't f2 rather than f1.2? That would say 1:2 on the front, not 1:1.2. If it is that makes a big difference in price.
This is an f2 'A'

If it's not that best post a picture!

Or was it that you don't like dealing with conceited ebay sellers

Eventually, I'd like to have a 50mm A 1.2 myself.

Ah, but one of the advantages of an eBay transaction is that you don't need to meet the seller. Fortunately in this case, they didn't include a self-portrait with it! (and the lens arrived quickly, in good shape and hasn't left my camera since)

What you mean it's stuck!
Nice lens I've got the 'K' version plus two Tomioka 55mm f/1.2's
I'll have to get rid of at least one shortly

Both nice lenses as well - I've got the K version as well (which I'll now have to get rid of) and have had a Porst (Cosina designed, I think) version in the past which was fun, but not a patch on the Pentax options. I've got the 'K' version plus two Tomioka 55mm f/1.2's
The Tomioka version seems excellent as well - I don't envy your choice!
