There are really bargains out there. I did a research on ebay about Pentax 645D which were sold recently and at which price.

The range on German ebay is from 1.700€ up to 2.500€. See here:

Yes, I am really surprised at how low the prices are now. If I didn’t already have one, I would buy one! Especially attractive MFD option for anyone who already owns some Pentax 645 or 67 lenses.
