Just found this out from another car forum I frequent. This site has the Pentax K100D 6.1MP Digital SLR Body for $239.99 + $5 shipping for today's deal of the day.
Note: It is refurbished but I think still a decent price for a potential back up body.

Woot Sellout

Anyways, happy holidays!

Good to see a good number of us on both sites. :-)

If my K100d wasn't already my backup, or if my kids were just a few years older, I'd grab one without hesitation.

Happy holidays!

Seeing how I recently paid $200 for one with 20,000 clicks on it, this is an awesome price.

Along these same lines...while I was out on Black Friday, I stopped in a Ritz Camera at the local mall and was shocked to see Pentax in the case...but even more shocked to see that they were the K100D and the K10D (no K200D, K2000, or K20D).

Unfortunately, I was being left behind by my family and didn't get a chance to inquire about the price.

In Anderson SC the K100D Super (new) was $350 for the body only - at Ritz. The clerk thought they had some newer cameras at Wolf Camera (same group) in Greenville. Alas, no Pentax lenses at Ritz other than the kit lens and the 55-200, and he said they had not received any in a good while.
