I getting my new K-7 today , and I was wondering what would be the best place to flog my K20D? I have used ebay in the past, but they are getting a bit on my nerves (long story).

I sold a K20D body on eBay for £507 a week or so ago - where else would you get that sort of return?
Best regards, John

Selling here in the Classified Adverts works well.

Amazing price John, roughly what I paid for a new one (factoring in a bit of cashback).

Ebay is a good option as you get the buyer/seller protection via paypal etc

eBay or this forum. I use both. Which to try first is a tricky question.

eBay has the advantage of advertising to thousands of potential buyers, but the disadvantage of 10% commission (plus any insertion and PayPal fees). This forum has the advantage of no fees, but has a much smaller audience.

Funnily enough, a friend of mine had decided to get her first SLR, and I was persuading her to go Pentax, and look for a used K20D.

Off she went, trawled eBay and then MSNed me a link to your auction, John, asking me if it would be Ok.

I said that it would be excellent, and that you were a completely trustworthy eBay seller.

Sadly, she decided that your body, and a kit lens, would be more than her £450 budget, and she's now bought a Canon 400D

(I did say that a K10D or K200D would be a good alternative, but it seems that there were hordes of 400Ds on eBay at the time, many going for a song.)
