Here is my Pentax AF540FGZ II which is in excellent condition complete with box, soft case, foot and manual. It requires 4x AA batteries, not included. I am asking £270.00 plus postage within the UK.

This angle bracket from Kirk Enterprises is probably the best available, it is well engineering in the US and is tailor-made for each individual camera design, so fits snugly like a glove. An anti-twist lug fits into a slot in the base of the camera intended for the battery grip so there is no movement even with a heavy lens on, and ensures there is no rubbing of the camera body. It matches the camera finish and the svelte design means it doesn't need to be removed. Current price in the US is $145 although out of stock. I am asking £75.00 including postage within the UK.
Specification:
Anti-twist pins: Yes
Finish: Black Anodize
Material: 6061-T6 aluminum
Additional Mounting Hole: (1) 1/4-20
Hand Strap Loop: Yes
Sensor Centering Lines: Yes
QD System: Yes, Material: Stainless Steel (Industry Standard Quick Disconnect System)
Mounting Screw: Captive 1/4-20 stainless
Full port door access: Yes

Up for sale at last is my ring flash bought from SRS Microsystems a while ago. It is in excellent condition and all complete with no visible defects. These are as rare as hen's teeth and even more so in this condition, unless sold on here soon I will post it on eBay with a price uplift to reflect their fee. I am asking £300.00 plus postage to UK only; here are some photos:

Update: Park Cameras came good by being very close to their original figure after examining my kit; the issues Wex had downgraded my kit for were non-existent and I think what they offered was very fair.

Thanks all, my K1 has just been returned and I found the function dial had the lock applied. It wasn't like that when I sent it off so I guess the assessor at Wex must have done it and then tried to force the knob round; it will turn if forced but obviously not a wise thing to do. With the lock off everything worked fine. They also said the aperture blades were sticking on my 100mm macro lens so therefore beyond economic repair. They do seem a bit slow after clicking the aperture lever but I tested it at f16 and f32 at 1/8000 sec and the results were correctly exposed.

I sent my K1, which i assumed to be in excellent conditon, to Wex for a part exchange and they have come back to me saying to top dial to the right of the LCD screen is stiff, and that it needs a repair for which they will get a quote. I asked if they had compared it to other K1's but apparently not so I have asked them to return it. My question is, what is the consensus here? Are there any members with a K1 near to Wellesbourne in Warwickshire I could compare with?
