Yes, I looked at used KP prices and they are too high right now. Used K3's are much more realistic. Thank you for your input. It is appreciated.

Yes indeed! At one point the KP was down to about +-$696 or so during one of the Black Friday sales. Can't remember if it was in 2019 or 2020. I refuse to pay more than that for a used KP. I also refuse to pay more than $730 for a used K-3II, since that was about the lowest price B&H/Adorama/Amazon had sold it for new.

There is also the filtered K-5II & unfiltered K-5IIs, though they're not KAF4 compatible & don't have focus peaking in live view. They do put out some very nice images, especially the K-5IIs without the AA filter. They range from about $250 to $450 or so on eBay.
