Hi Pietrach and Phill,
OK, here's the situation: I listed the camera yesterday around noon on ebay, with the 18-55mm DA-L lens as described above. It has a starting price of just £150, but with a number of K100D Super auctions having just ended at ~£230 (plus freight) and above, and MANY buyers already watching, I have little doubt it will reach a similar level.
So here's my pragmatic solution: I am going to let the auction run for now, but if there has been no starting bid by Wednesday morning, I am ready to cancel it early and sell it to either of you for £205 delivered, with payment as a Paypal gift so I incurr no charges (or plus 3.4% if you prefer to mark it as a payment for goods, your choice). Phill, I offered it to Pietrach first, so he'd have the right of first-refusal. If neither of you still wants it by then, I'll just let the auction run. I hope this is a fair solution.
The Tamron 18-250mm is also on ebay now. If either of you wants it together with the camera, it would be an extra £215 (paypal gift transfer), or £220 if sold/shipped separately.

Fair enough Wolfson. Good luck to you Pietrach.
Although, I shall continue to lurk in the sidelines ready to pounce

Sorry to arrive late at the party but if anyone is still looking for a K100D then I may be able to help.
I have one that has had very little use ( 430 shutter actuations last time I looked ) and is in genuinely mint condition. All boxes, books, leads, discs etc are included. Bought new by myself. Kit 18 - 55 included also.
Only one snag is that I am currently offshore for the next two and a half weeks so I cannot progress any deal till I get home.
There is also at least one zoom (probably 80 - 300 Tamron going by memory)
Camera is located in N.E. Scotland.
Reason for sale is that "her indoors" subsequently developed an interest in photography but she joined the dark side and in the interests of sharing gear I too got drawn into the void.
Let me know if there's any interest. I'm sure there are several other bits and pieces in the bag too, I'll check it out when I get home.
