With many years experience in the electronics repair industry I've seen "minor flaws" like this develop into major faults very rapidly.
Pity it doesn't have the 40mm lens.
If you buy it as a "shelf queen" you'd end up with a couple of spare batteries and a charger for your K-3iii (if you need them) … maybe even recoup a little by selling a spare charger to another K-3iii user
Exactly. I saw a pristine (3K actuations) go on Pentax Marketplace last year for $133 or so, this one should go for less, but I can't control how people price out their stuff.
I eBayed the seller and said I'b be more interested when the auction is over and they relist without the lenses.
There were a few in Japan with much higher prices and all but one had stock photos which I am always suspicious of. Only one seller agreed to tell me actuations, in the 3K area.

The K-01 has no such advantage.
Yes, agreed. I'm starting to think that my desire to have cameras that are a different color is leading me down the wrong path. I had a black K-01 (used with a separately bought 40XS) and I hated it. Got it on eBay with 8 actuations for $322, sold it for ~ same with ~ 40 actuations.
