Hmmm, I've had an email this evening saying thanks for the fast payment
(Paypal) and that the lens is shipping tomorrow

Fingers crossed

Good point. Recent moves by Pentax engineering/management have really
cut down the resale value of pre-A lenses.

This is for the K lens, right? Not the 'A'

I'd say the absolute maximum is US$300 for the K, significantly more for the 
A. But I don't really know the market price for this lens that well.  :-)

in HM's pounds here in Olde London Towne they are normally priced
around the £250- mark for good examples. I wouldn't pay more than that
even for a completely mint one; I'd be pleased if I paid below about
£225-.
