Boris,
I think you want too much for the K-5. KEH.com has several in Ex or
better condition selling for less than $290.00 U.S. and they're giving a
1 year guarantee, and free shipping, something I wouldn't expect you to
do.
It's a sad fact that no matter how capable the camera or what condition
it's in, and how well built it is, in the new digital age, after a very
few years it's monetary value approaches zero.
In my humble opinion the capabilities of a K-5, is probably more than
most people really need to make outstanding photographs, and even $300.
is a steal for those capabilities, but the perception is that time has
passed it by.
Heck, just yesterday, I received a replacement K-5 II that I bought from
KEH.com that cost me less than $270 including sales tax, that looks like
it's brand new, and, if I can believe the file numbers exiftool gives
me, has slightly less than 2900 shutter actuations. The 1 year
guarantee alone is probably worth 25% of the purchase price.
Bottom line I just don't think you're going to be able to get that much
for yours. Even with the grip, and the other items. I wish that weren't
true but that's just the way the world works these days.

K-5, with original grip, extra battery (also original), magnifying eye cap,
remote and whatever else accessories I would find. I am the original owner,
and my daughter Galia used it too a bit.
Slightly more than 20,000 shutter actuations.
How USD 300 sounds, shipping is on me, we split PayPal fees?
