I recently acquired a very nice example of the FA28mm prime and I must say I am pleasantly surprised (perhaps I shouldn't be :wink.
Surprisingly sharp wide open and lovely colour rendition, all in compact package that suits the K-7 without the grip. Very happy with it
A couple of examples....

It is difficult subject and not really 'Pentax Users' responsibility to cover all eventualities but the idea of a time / post delay or registration cost for classified ads would help to put the 'quick buck' Charlie off (I think).
And again it has to be a case of buyer beware in all cases.
Perhaps there should also be certain standards adhere to / boxes to tick when advertising Pentax gear, again like 'PentaxForums' this should reduce the banter aspect in sales threads.
I agree with you Peter, personally I would not set up a meet with a new forum member who had (as in the case of the K-7) apparently just joined to sell a high value item. Much too risky
I would only meet with forum members who in my view had a reputable track record over at least a few months.

TBH....following PentaxForums way, I would be a great supporter for the donation system over there. It makes sense( for bonding members) and that way we could do without the advert space on the right and have more real forum space to use. But...I'll reckon, this will never happen over here.One other forum I frequent will only allow you to post a classified once you have made a donation, for server upkeep, minimum US$10.00.

Yes I can see positives and negatives to both sides and as it is buyer definitely needs to beware.
It is just that it is not uncommon on other forums (photography related and others) to have either a time limit or similar before being able to post items for sale.
