You can (a) get an old Pentax AF160 as a simple slave, (b) use the AF540 on the camera set to "M" mode (you'll have to use the camera in "M" mode too
You can also set them up the other way round. The AF160 on camera, which will give only one flash, and the AF540FGZ set asa dumb (non P-TTL) slave off camera.

Then your other two remote slaves will trigger from the AF540FGZ in your scenario where they are in a separate room.

You can use only one flash as master and the wireless (light pulses) range is about 4 metres.

One (and only one) master or controller (not both) can trigger as many slave flashes as you need.

Might be more useful if you added a link or noted the item number if it's still on ebay.

I think there was an issue with the max voltage of the rechargeable CR-V3 batteries which may be why Pentax changed the battery housing to prevent their use.

Note the spelling of Pentax.

Camera, 2 X lenses, flash, carry bag.

I'd go for it if I didn't already have one that I will be selling soon.

Interestingly, T's & C's and contracts in general have an 'Applicable Law' clause stating which country's/state's laws apply. There is none in theirs.

I quote from their T's & C's (in bold, as per their website):-

"Your purchase may subject you to taxes. We make no claims on collecting or paying any sort of taxes on any purchases."

As I was brought up on manual flash I guess I'll cope! Its frustrating that the Jessops guys couldnt have told me that the K10D they'd sold me wouldnt work in auto mode with the gun I later went in to buy from them.
They probably hadn't a clue. How old was the shop assistant who served you? 17? 18 maybe?

Nuff said.
