Knock Knock, Me again.
I had forgotten about the battery issue and it is not as big a deal as you might think as long as you use fresh batteries. It's function is to hold the shot counter info if you are in mid roll and have to change batteries. It is user replaceable even though Pentax asks the owner to send it in. The camera will work fine without it. It's for backup.
I'm sure that you can get it replaced in Europe. I hear Pentax Germany is very good. So if the camera seems to work well when you get it. I'd contact pentax Eu and send it in for a battery replacement if you don't want to do it yourself. It should last 7+ years.

That`s around 4$450 USD I think.
A couple of 645 and 75mm's together sold for $228, another at $192 and a 3rd for $320 with a grip.
A couple of 75mm's sold alone for around $200.
I can't find anything about the 105mm. Is that a 150mm maybe?

Here's a couple of helpful links. The 645 has many auto functions (P Av Sv Etc) but lacks AF, not as big a deal with this format as the screens are bright and it's much more designed for landscape type shooting rather than race cars.

If the 645D ever comes out (or they were to make a digital insert), you would be way ahead of everyone else and these lenses will go through the $$$ roof!

Plus you can get an adapter to use the lenses on a DSLR. The 120 would be sweet on a K10 or 20
An 80-160mm just sold on Ebay for $450 USD
A 45mm was bid up to $225 but didn't meet the reserve.
a 120mm sold for $250 and another sold with the same body for $335.00
So a good deal I think.

Yes it is. At the very least you could make a little money if you had to resell the kit. But the camera and lenses are all very nice. and worth this price.
