Opinions on this Pentax KX

I have a known seller in Japan from whom I have purchased cameras and lenses multiple times. She is amazing and always find things for me. She had sold me a PENTAX KX in past, one of the best condition you can find but I gifted it to my girlfriend and I kind of miss it, so I asked the seller to find a new one for me. She found one and said it is in near mint condition and works perfectly fine. But I see some patches of stains on the shutter curtains, does anyone think that could effect the performance of the camera?

What is your overall opinion on the condition of this camera? Should I go for it?

I don't think the minor things on the curtain are anything to worry with. As long as the meter works, the rest of the camera is very reliable.

You have "a known seller" who is "amazing". Why don't you point out to her what you're seeing--is this it?



and ask her what she thinks / whether she thinks this is likely to be a problem. She's probably far more expert than I am at evaluating such things.
