I've had a few like that:
Black K2 in minty condition but listed as "spares/repair", went for about £15 after I forgot to put a bid in. It would easily have been worth the price of a professional CLA to get it working properly. I strongly suspected that it just needed new batteries and some attention to the film speed selector.
Missed a winder for a KX or KM motor by a few quid - I don't have the modified camera though, so not a great loss!

Hertfordshire,
mostly.
with Pentax bayonet fitting as used on my K1000 camera... A scarce lens which unfortunately has been forced and the aperture/exposure meter link no longer works. Both rings (f and focus) work smoothly so the lens can be used if you are up to figuring out the exposure...
Given that I was taking a gamble I bid a moderate amount but was gazumped with two seconds to go by a esniper...
Oh well, no doubt there will be another one along eventually.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
