Pentax SMC DA 18-135mm through Walmart on-line

kiberkli · 11-23-2021, 09:36 PM

These prices don't seem right for the Pentax SMC DA 18-135mm lens through Walmart (but not sold by Walmart).

$349.58:
Pentax SMC DA 18-135mm F/3.5-5.6 ED AL (IF) DC WR Lens + 3 Piece Filter Kit + Deluxe 3pc Lens Cleaning Kit + Lens Cap Keeper 6AVE Bundle - Walmart.com

$338.65
Pentax SMC DA 18-135mm F/3.5-5.6 ED AL (IF) DC WR Lens + UV Filter + MicroFiber Cloth 6AVE Bundle - Walmart.com

$337.30
Pentax 21977 DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AL (IF) DC WR Lens for Pentax Digital SLR cameras - Walmart.com

At Amazon, B&H, and Adorma it's $476.95, which seems more the norm.

Maybe they are “White Box” versions pulled from kits.

6th Avenue is an old name in photography sales. They sell gray market often (non USA products in USA market). The comments seem to bear that out.

Electronics basket looks like a real bad idea to buy from. Looks like a bunch of fake reviews (name and 5 stars, no details) and two 1 star reviews with details.

I suggest steering clear and buying used for a discount and a reputable seller.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Electronics Basket in bad reviews on this site. I would steer clear of buying anything on the Walmart site that isn’t sold by Walmart. Their own items will come directly from the supplier, at least big ticket items in my limited experience.

If it's to good to be true...

They are pretty cheap on the used market.
