sold a camera yesterday,pentax k-x
buyer
Hi - I have successfully bid for your Pentax DSLR. The bid was pretty much 'spur of the moment' (which is fine!) but I just have a couple of queries before I receive the camera ;-). I see the accessories/extras in the images on the listing but no mention of the manual, software, batteries and memory card for the camera - are these included in the sale? If not, it would be really useful to know which of these are not included so that I can start looking around to obtain them, if I can. I have only used a digital compact until now, no experience of a DSLR so I will probably need them to get going and get the best out of the camera. Look forward to your reply, Thanks - Peter.

hi,,i do have a manual i printed off line if you want,,this would be 10 pound extra though,,they are very hard to get,i didnt have one when i bought the camera.you can download the software online .google search will find it for you,,there is a firmware update available too for the camera which ive not installed,but ti is available,,search the forums for advice on that,,,batteries and memory cards are available on here,its worth spending a bit on them,,i use 2500mah rechargeable ones..and a class 10 memory card ..,,perfect entry level camera this is for you,,if you could pay asap please so i can arrange a courier,,ive a few things to send so want to do it all together,,hope this helps,,

Not too helpful and not exactly a straight answer - I assume then that the batteries and memory card have been taken them out of the camera so I will have to buy those extra? The Pentax K-x software is not available online - I've searched - only updates which require the original to be already installed. No - I don't think I wish to pay £10 extra for the manual - hope you continue to find it useful.

im sorry you dont find that helpful,i would not include my memory card as i paid a lot and has a lot of stuff on it,,as im sure you would not sell yours to some one else...the batteries are also not listed in the listing as you can see as i use them for my other camera,ive never actually used the manual and had forgotten all about it till you mentioned,,ill throw that in for you free of charge for you,,if you dont wish to purchase thats absolutely fine with me,,please say so so i can cancel the transaction
ps,,
