You should haunt www.keh.com. They're very reputable, and they often sell more common, and make no mistake the A 28mm f2.8 isn't all that rare, lenses for much less than you can get them on ebay. They don't have any A 28mms in stock right now, but they are likely to have more in the future.

Anyway, I was not able to be at home in the final hours of bidding on this lens 
on eBay. I left a maximum bid, but the other guy got it for $1.00 more-- $81. 
Apparently that was a steal, as the remaining lenses of this type on eBay are 
all in the $160 to $220 range. Is this what I should expect to pay?

I got mine off of EBay about 3 years ago for about $90.  $160-220 seems steep.

I've seen them on the PentaxForums marketplace for the "around $100" range as well.   
I've been on the hunt for an AF version of that same lens so that I'll have a small/light 
"party camera" with the K7.  Those tend to be about twice as expensive (around $200) if 
you can find them at all.
