Originally posted by Scottie137 That is great that Showcase might be open to stocking a few Pentax items. I have two gift cards for Showcase, but have been thinking of trying to sell them as there aren't any accessories that I currently need and, until these K30s, didn't stock anything Pentax. Maybe I will swing by after work one day to take a look at the K30 and mention my interest in them carrying additional Pentax gear.
If they have the K30 it means they are now again a dealer so if there are specifics i imagine he can order them for you as well (and probably work a deal since he won't have the cost of carrying it). the more you guys go in and support them the more they will carry.
I'm glad to see options are developing for you.
to be fair if I lived in the US and I could avoid taxes Iby shipping across state lines i too would buy online as many do. I think it is the most destructive policy the government has for B&M retail. Stupid really because a thriving B&M sector provides far more employment than a thriving internet retail sector does. Given the unemployment issues in the US eliminating the ability to avoid tax could easily be sold as a job growth idea
