PX for the K-3 has been arranged with Lukhash and is therefore no longer available

Can't seem to edit the original post so i'll put photos of the camera and put updates here.
Firstly im also including a remote shutter timer and a remote control for the camera.
Secondly the 32GB SD card i had originally planned on sending with the camera is missing so it will have to be a class 10 8GB card.
The Lowpro bag is a Classfied 140 AW, Which i never used, but has been sat on my shelf so may have a sprinkling of dust.

Here are some images, sorry for the quality, my phone is a poor subtitute for a real camera

Well at some point you have to make sacrifices. My little boy have severe autism and is wheelchair bound so i need a bigger car, and in order to fund said car i need to sell some of my favourite toys. In this case my Pentax setup.

First up for grabs is my Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 APO DG OS.

It is in excellant condition with only a small mark on the hood. The Glass is perfect. It has its original carry bag, straps and box.
It is an amazing lens and i have captured some very impressive wildlife images with it.

Im looking for around £480 including RMSD

Next up is my Sigma 235-400mm 4.5-5.6 APO.

It is in great condition with nice clean glass. It is in its original carry case, but sadlt does not come with the original box.
While not as impressive as the 150-500mm it is much more compact and produces very nice images.

Finally I am selling my beloved Pentax K-3 DSLR

The camera is in immaculate condition with a shutter count of only 3069. Due to my boy's condition i simply haven't had not been able to find time to use it. I seem to have misplaced the original charger for it, so it will be supplied with a twin bay charger with LCD screen. Also supplied, will be 3 batteries, an almost brand new LowPro bag, 32GB SD card, Original box and accessories.
I currently do not have photos of the camera, but will upload some in the next few days.

All of the prices are negotiable, and I am open to reasonable offers, but please bare in mind that these are reluctant sales. I look forward to hearing from interested members.

I am looking to sell either my Sigma 150-500mm APO or my Sigma 135-400mm APO.

The Sigma 150-500mm APO was bought brand new about august of last year and is in excellant condition, in its protective case and its original box. A few light scratches to the detachable hood are the only real evidence of use.

The Sigma 135-400mm APO is in great condition also and in its protective case but does not have its original box.

Im not sure which to sell at this point so im throwing these out there in the hope of some offers.

I will upload some images when I get a few minutes.

Hi there i am looking to part exchange my near mint K3 for either a K5 or a K5ii and some cash.
I am looking for £200 plus a K5ii or £250 plus a K5.

The reason for this is that my partner bought this K3 for me for christmas just gone and I have barely used it (only 2200 shots) and so it is being wasted. I also need some money for repair to my car. I dont want to give up on photography completely so im thinking a K5 or K5ii will be fine for the amount of use it will get.

My K3 is in excellent condition no bumps or scrapes and has the original box and accessories.

Photos to follow.

i dont think i agree. looking at ebay k3's tend to for around £490-£550 depending on condition, and mine is practically new and K5's tend to gof for between £200-£250.
So realistically i could sell the K3 for say £500 buy a good K5 for £250, and have £250 to go towards my studio equipment.
