At least they didn't price it a thousand times more than the K-1. :-)

Maybe it's the very limited edition Silver K-1.000 ...

BTW -- I'll sell mine that is in equally nice condition for 1/2 of that amount. PM if interested.

I dread to think what they'd ask for a used KM, KX or K2....

I've seen similar prices on Craigslist because the seller had no clue on value of products, but this is a camera store. I wonder if they had a new intern do their on-line adverts who mixed the product names and pictures? Clueless

It seems the K1000 with 50/1.7 is on sale -- it's only $295.00!!

Used Cameras - Downtown Camera

And there's a KM (KX is pictured) for the bargain price of $550!!

USED PENTAX KM WITH 55 F1.8 - Downtown Camera

I'm all for giving brick and mortar camera shops business, but someone REALLY needs to do some market pricing comparisons and proofing before they post these listings up.

$500-600, last time they had one. Can't recall if a lens was included or if had been serviced. (Most of the cameras are.) Prices are Canadian, so about $400-480 US.

I love the store, but their used equipment prices are sometimes a bit out there.

Yeah, the actual price is $1595 so that rules out the decimal point typo thing.

Yeah just a bit, considering another store is advertising an ME Super (body only) in "excellent" condition for $20. To be fair, a few of their used items aren't in the ridiculous realm. Caveat emptor.
