When the K10D came out in Germany (1299 Euro was the price Blende8 was told for Germany) the price range was quite limited, IIRC: 999 Euro plus minus 100 Euro. So let's say 1150 to 1450 sounds like a good guess for Germany to me - if the seller who talked to Blende8 was correct.
Make this the same numbers in US$ and you probably know what the "cheap guys" on the other side of the ocean will have to pay (well, the US finances seem to go down, so no jealousy from my side).
