I just checked KEH.com and they have a plain old K-5 in stock for a bit
over $300. The 16-50 isn't listed but they're still manufactured and
KEH generally sells them for about 10-20% less than retail new for EX
condition. So if you bought it before the recent price increase you
can probably get almost what you paid for it. I've been told by the
local camera shop that they price their used gear based on KEH's prices.

I came to the realization a while ago that since getting into the Olympus
OM-D line, I've not used my Pentax gear for ages - almost a couple of
years, actually.
It pains me to watch my K5 and lenses just rot in a bag - is there *any*
resale value on an original, "well-loved" K-5 body? And what's the current
state of opinion on the 16-50? (But if each are only a couple hundred,
I'll probably just tuck the big ol' bag of gear into a cabinet and let 'em
sit there...)
