You'd have to get the AA battery holders for it from somewhere though.. Maybe ask the same seller..
Thanks for the link, I wasn't aware of that option. While having a battery grip is nice for some occasions (and I'm considering it for things like very long exposures), it also makes the body a lot larger and heavier to carry. I have very small hands and having the grip on all the time would be a major inconvenience to me. It also would mean having to get yet another (bigger) camera bag.

I would much prefer if they had a K20D upgrade with native AA support. But I have to say the K20D was out of my price range at the time of my purchase, so I didn't really consider it very carefully - I only learned that it didn't use AAs after I purchased my K200D. AA support was one of the major reasons I chose the K200D over all other cameras.

When time comes for me to upgrade (and I have no idea when that would be), I would like to have another higher resolution Pentax camera that works with AAs.
