It probably sold for a bit over $150 new without the PK T mount so
somebody's expecting to make quite a killing, or has no idea what it's
really worth.

There's one available on eBay right now (in PK mount, coincidently),
though they're asking way more than I'd be willing to pay:

There was a Makinon 300mm reflex, f5.6 as I recall. I almost bought
one second hand around 1990 and got as far as taking some test shots
in the shop which were impressive. Alas, another purchase took
precedence and I let it pass. It'd be quite old now but if you found
a clean example (refexes are a bit susceptible to fungus in my
experience) it would be worth a look. It's compactness is amazing, it
is hardly bigger than a 50mm lens, probably smaller than a Canon 50mm
lens.
Here's a link to some comments about it:

Apparently there's a fair bit a of quality variation from sample to
sample, but you shouldn't pay much for one so it could be worth the
risk. FWIW, I was at first disappointed with my Tamron SP500 reflex
that I got in 1988, but it sharpened considerably after I put a good
UV filter up front, the only lens I've had that result from (every
other lens takes a tiny hit in sharpness when you use a UV filter).

Sorry, I only have a 400mm for sale. It's a Sigma f/5.6, and pretty
good for a mirror lens.
The only 300mm I'm aware of is indeed the one you mention for m4/3.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthly search.
