Originally posted by stormtech The Q has been discontinued for a while now - this is just vendors with inventory getting rid of the old stuff.
I doubt Newegg, or whoever is doing the Groupon deals, actually had thousands of Q kits in stock prior to discontinuation, waiting to be closed out. These deals show up, sell out, then show up again. This is clearly inventory that Pentax/Ricoh USA is dumping, and using these outlets to do it. The prices are still being set by the vendors to make
some profit...
