I have always hung onto my prior generation DSLR as a backup when
upgrading. I have to admit that since getting the K-5 I have taken about
10 shots with my old K-7. But when my first K-7 broke and needed to
spend a few weeks off getting repaired, I was really happy to have my
old K-10D still in the bag. If the same ever happens to my K-5 I'm sure
I'll feel the same about the K-7.

PS: You could also get the K-7 converted to IR or full spectrum ;-)

I've just worked out a deal to get a lightly-used K5. Happy boy.
I told the CFO that the resale value of my K7 is relatively low and "might not be
worth the bother"
However, I suppose I should research that a bit to see if I'm being honest. Frankly,
I'd rather keep the K7 as a backup, but all the same I realize that every time I've
upgraded (ist-DS* -> K10D -> K7) I've never looked back.
So.. with umpty-ump "shutter actuations" (which I don't know that it really
matters but I have used it a LOT) and with a less-than ideal look (paint scraped off of
the edges as a result of, y'know, USING the camera) what's the approximate value of such
a thing?
Photo below documenting the bare-metal-round-the-edges look at the moment. It
ain't pretty (but it works wonderfully!).

If it's worth more than $250 I should probably consider selling it... if not,
then no.
