For K-500 owners that wished you got the K-50 instead

Amazon is offering up to $319 for the K-500 on trade in. I sent my K500 body in last week, it was in excellent condition but missing some accessories and the box was for a kit with the 18-55 lens. They gave me $265 which was fine with me since that's what I paid for it last year. I added another $25 and bought the K-50 for $289. The strange thing is they are offering up to $319 for the K500 and only $168 for the K50. I don't get that logic but ok. So if you have a clean K500 and miss not having the focus points this might be a good deal for you. It was for me.

I guess it's because the K-500, ironically, sells for more because it's been discontinued for so long. Interesting!

The trade in offers are on the Amazon site available here in the US. Not sure if available to customers in India. Best to go to Amazon and search their help section.
