$59 NEW Pentax KP Battery grip (D-BG7), B&H sale
Smoking deal. I'm not even a battery grip guy but I'd consider buying one at that price.
I don't even have a KP! lol... but, as GAS goes, maybe I should!
This one keeps taunting me. A local seller with a Silver KP and Pentax DA* 16-50 all in new condition for $650 CAD ($470 USD):

I don't have a KP either and I bought two! lol I plan to sell one of the grips. I figured it's the perfect way to get my feet wet with ebay selling because it's a new item (so what's there to complain about?! lol).
As for the other grip, I do plan to get a KP once I find a good deal. I think ~$300 I'd probably bite, but that price seems a long way off at this rate. The one local to you looks nice.

I can relate to this. I plan to step up my eBay game so that I can have camera-gear-outflow instead of just camera-gear-inflow. I need to be better organized for selling otherwise I procrastinate at the thought of the whole ordeal. Being able to quickly shoot well-lit product photos and having packaging material on-hand would be a good start!

That's my goal as well. I've been selling to MPB instead because it's so easy, but I have stuff they won't buy and sometimes you can make more on ebay as well. I bought a folding photo box for product photos, which has removed a huge barrier for me when it comes to creating listings. We don't have a good space for a studio or anything like that currently, so a small folding photo box was just the ticket. I'll share some test shots I took of my K1000 in the November thread.

Just saw the shots of the K1000 in the November thread... lovely!
I've never dealt with MPB (not sure they will even sell to Canada) but every year KEH comes to my city and hosts an event to buy gear. I brought a bunch of my Minolta AF stuff last go-around and they told me to politely pound sand lol. eBay it is!
I thought there were no grips for the KP.
And wow that's cheap!
You also have a K3-III for 1277$
