Wanted K-5

Anybody looking to upgrade to the latest version and looking to sell at a keen price? Ideally (but not essential) with 18-55 WR included.

Dave

I'm just waiting to see a full review of the K511S, if it looks good I will be selling my K5, though I'm not sure when a full review will be available...

On reflection, I think I'll put off a k-5 purchase for a few months.

I have a cracking K-5 + 18-55mm + VG set. The new K5-II and S versions don't have anything for a K-5 owner to warrant changing, so I don't see paying extra for so little is that worthwhile.

Mine is advertised on this thread, and I'm asking what it owes me, but for a quick sale, I'll take £600.00 delivered for the lot (includes a new second battery for the grip).

Please advise.

I had seen your advertisement, but why would I wish to pay £600 for a used one with several thousand clicks when I could buy a new one with the 18-55 WR from Jessops for £89 more? (I don't need the grip)

Hi Dave,

Firstly no price has been specified in your opening post, and secondly, as stated, it's what it owes me in cold blood, so I'm not looking to profit, just to move on. I bought it from another forum member and added the new grip and new spare battery, but like anything, retail prices can vary by around £100.00, but all I've done was to make you aware about my copy (clearly I didn't know that you'd looked at my thread), though I trust you will source one at whatever price you have in mind.

"it's what it owes me in cold blood" - We are talking about a camera right?

It's a digital camera... At a time when the company that made it is releasing an upgrade... They're never 'worth' what we 'paid' when the time to sell comes around...

I understand you wanting to re-coup what you spent but look at the market... You might have to take a small hit...

I totally agree Dave. Perhaps I could close this thread as I had stated earlier that I'm going to wait a few months.

Many thanks

Dave

Wouldn't a K-5 with Go-Faster-Stripes added be as good as
the K-5 II........

Behave yourself Algi! Thread closed.
