>>2640548it's a fine camera, it's just that because art schools made everyone use it (not without reason, it's good for that) that hipsters everywhere buy them, either because they're taking photo classes, or they want to look like the people who do. Which makes a K1000 much too expensive for what it is, hence OP's memery.
Keh has a K1000 listed as $139 for EX condition. A KM, which is literally the same camera as the K1000, is $69 for EX condition. An EX+ ME Super is $49.
