This sums the whole discussion up for me. I understand your frustration Horst but at the end of the day it's the seller's choice. And if you want to persuade them otherwise a PM would be a wiser than a snidey post.

completely agree.

if a seller only wants to sell to someone with 1 wooden leg and a dog called Brian, that's their choice!!

if the k5 value is approx. £200, and the K3 around £400, is the k5iis holding its value better then?

I was after a k5iis or a k3, keeping an eye out for something in my price range, though expecting it to be the k5iis. I subsequently bought a used, mint, low use (1800) k3 on here recently for £370, which I am delighted with.

as Bill says, subsequent bodies allow previous models to slip in value, but the k5iis seems to be still holding well in comparison.

Been looking at some used pentax camera prices, on here, and on another forum.
Roughly speaking....
K5 around £200
K5iis around £400
K3 around £350-£400.

My question is:- (lets assume all in excellent condition, reasonable shutter count, boxed etc) is the k5iis worth twice the cost of the k5....or a cost of £200 to upgrade from k5. Or is the k3 better value for around the same cost as the k5iis?
