Affordable DA*16-50mm?

My beloved DA 16-45mm has a case of wobby barrel that has gotten so bad that the entire top right side of pictures gets very blurry at 16mm... depending on how I hold the front barrel it gets better but doesn't go away.

So I think I need a replacement - a different lens because while I love the 16-45 optically, I no longer trust its build quality... and I want to stay with Pentax colors

So I thought I'd ask about an older, maybe beat-up (but still optically good) copy of the DA*16-50mm f/2.8... if it's converted to screw drive, even better!

I'm going out of town tomorrow to camp for a few days (no internet) and will check PMs on Wednesday June 10 when I'm back in town.

Hopefully someone has a copy that perhaps hasn't seen much use but could be loved again ...
