$200-$300 on ebay. KEH seems to sell them for between $300 and $400.

Yes, I know there are rumors of something newer over the horizon, but that will
take longer than I care to wait, will cost more than I have saved up, and the
K-7 right now is at $843 at BHPhotovideo which is a pretty damned good price.
The question is: Is there any resale value to the K10D? I'd thought about handing it
down to my wife who would like occasionally to learn how to use a "real"
camera, but I hesitate to give her the K10D for the same reasons that I want to replace
it, namely: unpredictable/slow autofocus and exposure which can be all over the map.
On the other hand, if it wouldn't generate more than a couple hundred in
resale, then there really isn't much point in trying to sell it, is there?
What do you all think?

I've kept my K20D after getting a K-7, but only because I'm too busy or lazy to sell it.

At the time i was doing my horse show photography with film, and i wanted ot go digital. The guy doing the shows digitally was upgrading his computers and camera, D1 to D1x, and getting into bike racing photos. I bought his camera, computers printers etc, and took over doing the shows he was doing. I finally paid everything off, and then upgraded, but was just not making enough to justify all of the work, so i packed it in last year. Now i just go out, support our team and photograph them.

Resale might not be worth while. I was going to sell my D1 to help fund either a K-7 or D300 purchase, but goingrate seems about $175.00(I paid $5000 for it) so i decided just to keep it.

Re: Worth selling the K10D if I'm getting the K7?
I kept mine, but sold two K20 and one K100 in the past 6 months to get a K-7. One reason I kept it was all the "how good it was a long night exposures" which I have a hankering to do from time to time. In retrospect it looks like I shoulda sold it and picked up a K-x to go with the K-7. On May 6, 2010, at 14:43 , Charles Robinson wrote: I'm about to have enough in my camera fund to pop for a K7.
