your best bet would probably be ebay. I would also check with any camera shops in your local area since many of them take in cameras for trade one of them may have one. www.Adorama.com also caries used photo equipment.

Ebay (but be careful and read all the seller's feedback - I look for people with 100% positive and something like 50 to 250 ratings.) There are lots of bargains to be had there. If you'd rather go with a retailer, check the used listings at B&H, Adorama, KEH and Calumet. All are reputable, but you have to know exactly what you want and not let them talk you into accessories you don't need, etc.
There should be thousands of used Pentax 35mm film cameras out there, and many will be in excellent condition. I found a K1000 with a 50mm f/2 lens at a yard sale a few years ago for $5. The seller said "the meter doesn't work" and I found that it just needed a battery and it was like new. I found a Spotmatic body a few years ago at an antique shop for $30 and it was mint - in fact it had recently been cleaned and the foam seals replaced. I gave it to my father because he's a Pentax nut and has a collection of screw-mount lenses and bodies.
Good luck!

do you want 35mm or medium format? I have a Pentax 67 medium format that is for sell. Takes large negatives for crisp sharp pictures.

in my closet. Hey, how about, "Where can you find 35mm film?" In the pet food section on the bottom shelf behind kitty litter.
I need to get with the program.
