Why is it that you can only get one second hand?

Congratulations Jerry!
Since I got mine the K10 hasn't been touched. I'm trying to get Mrs. Racer to take it to replace here Optio W30. She had the Optio out on a recent trip with one of her sisters, and although some of the photos were nice, she ran into some troubles that would have been easily avoided with the K10.
*sigh*
But she seems to be intimidated by all the buttons, dials and menu options on the K10.

Congratulations!
I got the battery grip for my K10, and came to like it very much in terms of handling the camera. Of course the extra battery, and storing the wireless remote and an extra memory card were also nice.
When I picked up the K5IIs I grabbed the grip for it too. My only disappointment was the absence of a place to store the wireless remote. One huge plus is the bottom of the grip is wider from front to back than the grip for the K10. This makes it easier to handle, and the camera will sit flat with longer lenses that the one with the K10.
So the extra weight doesn't cause an issue for me.
Another plus of the battery grip is that uninformed people who cannot tell a Canon from a Nikon from a Pentax see the camera with the grip and always say, "Wow! Nice camera!", and often ask, "Are you a professional?"
I simply smile and thank them for the compliment.
