Hi Ash,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
I don't think that new K5, K7 or KR at 1200, 800 and 550 are over priced. In many ways there isn't anything else like the K5 to even compare. That said if the K5 was 999 I'd have one.
I found used body prices generally higher then I though reasonable. For example I'm watching an auction for a K7 now, The camera looks a bit rough and not all the stuff is there. It's at 585 + 20 shipping with more then a day left. More then I'd pay already, I expect it will sell for ~700. New K7 is 789 now.
Anyway it's all good if and when it comes time for me to sell a body.
