Is this a good pentax k1000?


hi, im a complete beginner, and read alot of the recommendations on this site- which seemed to point me in the direction of the pentax k1000. I really wanted a complete manual camera so I can learn the basics. I found and bought a pentax k1000 on ebay for $158, it came with a 50mm lens and voigtlander flash. can anyone tell me if this is a good buy or not, and whether the lens and flash are okay?

  Seems a bit expensive to me. I paid $189 for mine new 15 years ago without a flash. As dependable as it is, I would doubt it should be that expensive, even with a flash. However, if it is in super good shape, who can say.
