I probably will include them in the package I send off to help pay for the k-new, and update my gear list appropriately.

All these cameras are disposable anyhow

You're budget is apparently larger than mine.

No I seriously doubt it,

Then perhaps we have different priorities. Initially, my lens buying was based on range of needs--cover the bases. Hence a couple of plastic fantastics and a general do-anything lens (the 18-135mm). Now, I've pretty much covered the lenses I need, and so have switched to slowly upgrading. For example, the DA 35 and DA50 were replaced by the Sigma 30mm Art, and the DA 18-135mm is in the process of being replaced by the new, sharper Pentax 16-85mm. It's a better IQ lens, and when I still need the range I can always switch to the Sigma 18-300mm (which I don't like near as well, but will get me there if I just have to go out past 85mm).

I'm hoping, budget permitting, to replace my Sigma 17-50mm with the upcoming HD DA * 16-50mm. Based on my experience with the HD 16-85, I think that will be a considerable bump-up in IQ.

But it's a slow process. Without any camera shops around, (and my aversion to ebay and the like), I simply don't have access to used gear I feel I can trust.
