and my farther in-law has a K20d with the 18-50mm kit lens and a pentax 50-300mm he might sell if he gets a good offer
Please be more specific about what you are selling or not selling. No-one will make an offer on something that might be for sale. WE need to know it is for sale, how much and also the background details as to condition and why it is being offered.

Please don't let this develop into a religious argument - that's out of bounds on PU.

Some card safes also catch the switch when the card is removed. The Jessops ones are very bad in this respect - the retaining lugs are in the same position as the switch and I actually saw one pull the switch out of a card.

I'd look for the Pentax 55-300mm, even if it means saving for a bit longer.

I was a bit disappointed with the sharpness of the K20D
Both our K20Ds were quite sharp enough, but not so sharp that they looked unnatural. More sharpening can be applied in Photoshop if required.

The enemies of sharpness are more likely to be down to lenses, camera shake or depth of field problems.

It would be interesting to see some images that are considered not sharp enough, with EXIF intact.

If I was buying a lens I would not buy one that I knew the previous owner had opened, cleaned and reasesembled. Lens repairs are for the experts, so you may reduce the value of your item considerably. In any event it is likely that traces of your dismantling will be evident.

I'd leave well alone and just sell as it is.

Why are you selling the lens?

Have the batteries leaked in the battery chamber or is it clean?
