Originally posted by lbenac Well they look good. I would say that $100 for each camera mentioning that the proceeds go to a shelter. I would say $50~70 for the K-55/1.8 based on the state of the glass, the body looks good.
The 50/2, I do not know as there are so many better lenses in 50mm, I would maybe throw it in with one of the body.
If I did not have too many camera already I would have taken the K1000 but Iam selling more than buying my 35mm stuff.

I would estimate a little lower than Luc.
Pricing depends a lot on what part of the country and what country you are in. It being a benefit sale affects the prices if sold at a local thrift shop or charity auction, but won't help much on eBay. Here in the Portland area a clean K1000 with Pentax-A 50/2 will sell for about $130 high retail with new seals and 30-day warranty. Yours appears to be the earlier metal body model and should fetch a price at that higher end. The KM, body only, would sell for about $45-$65 high retail with new seals with some discount being taken for the wear I see on your copy with $40 being what I would offer. The Pentax-K 55/1.8 can go anywhere from $35 to $75 based on condition. It is an excellent lens (I own one) but is generally a little under-valued in my opinion. I would ask $100 for the KM + 55/1.8 if sold together.
Add the filters for each camera to the deal for another $15.
Do either of the cameras have their cases? If in reasonable condition, those sell separately for about $15 and can make a camera more salable if bundled at no additional cost.
All of the above assumes that the cameras are in full working condition with the possible exception of needing new seals.
