I made an expensive mistake purchasing the K3, being disabled it's just to heavy for me, in my defense I was influenced by its good looks and reviews lol. It has under 200 actuations and is genuinely as new and as you're probably aware it ships complete with the battery grip, as I always do with new cameras I've fitted a screen protector but apart from that its untouched, I want to stay with Pentax preferably and I think the K-S2 would be better suited to my needs especially with the articulating screen, so if anyone is interested in some kind of a trade with me please get in touch.
Would also sell for £600 which I think is great value compared to new, camera was purchased here in the UK from WEX.
For reference my eBay I'd is vertueren over 1000 deals and 100% feedback and I'm a regular poster over on manual focus forum.

Thank you both, yes John being lighter will make a large difference in my case, I think I'll post in classifieds to see if I can get some kind of a trade agreed

Been thinking over replacing the K3 with the K5 after using the wifes one but wondering about getting the K-S2 instead, the articulating screen would definitely be a bonus but would like to hear thoughts from users, just for info, I'm disabled which is why I think the K3 has seen so little use.

Problems like this would be easier to avoid if rules were introduced to make all enquiries to be made on the sales threads, this kind of thing doesn't belong on such a friendly forum

Thanks again Carl, appreciate your thoughts.
Not worried about being damaged 50mp, that's where my insurance kicks in, new for old if unable to be repaired, although insurance companies love people like me as I've never had to claim lol.
If I can get around the figures mentioned I'll get my own K5 to stop my mrs moaning

Thanks Carl, I was thinking around the 575-600gbp it is genuinely as new including the box lol but trouble with the special editions is finding someone willing to pay a little more for what is purely cosmetic

Wasn't sold to me Marat, I didn't even get a response lol, must say that classifieds are better when enquiries MUST be in the thread leaving PMs just for payment arrangements like they have over on TP, then everything is in the open

Pmsl thanks Mike

Hi, if you can wait a few days then I would like to take it please

Mods if this is inappropriate or in the wrong forum I apologise, I did consider classifieds but as I've no idea on price I decided to ask here.
I have the Gunmetal Prestige Edition which as you're probably aware comes with the battery grip, no problem with the camera at all except I'm not using it lol, I prefer to use my wife's K5. The K3 is as new and has around 200 or less actuations, its hardly worth me leaving it on show in my display cabinet so I'm wondering what sort of value to put on it in order to sell to someone who'll actually use it. Its complete as received from WEX, the only thing I've done is to fit a screen protector prior to use as I always do.
Thanks
John
