1. Are you an authorised Pentax dealer/seller?
2. Specifically ask if they include a Pentax USA warranty with the camera.
*There are 3 ebayers selling within $1 of each other around $1049 - and each different named seller with similar ad is located in Somerset, NJ. calling up a red flag alert: bigvalueinc; 800photovideo and electronicsvalley
I've asked each one (probably the same outfit) for the above info and await their reply. These guys might have their own repair joint if any, but maybe not Pentax USA warranty. We'll see.
*UPDATE: Confirmed - All three are the same outfit with different names and telephone numbers - They do NOT include Pentax USA warranty - repairs are done through an un-named third party outfit.
Caveat Emptor.
