Thanks to Adam for BF and CM Deals!

stormtech · 11-26-2012, 06:21 PM

Now that this crazy weekend of sales is coming to a close, I want to thank Adam for what he has done here this season with the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.

I commented on another thread a couple days ago saying I doubt that Adam got much rest from Friday midnight until Monday night being he has been so active here making sure we all knew about all the great deals. I also commented on how great it was that B&H and Adorama played along so nicely. His return comment said that Pentax themselves had a lot to do with all this lifting the UPP for this event.

While yes, there were other parties involved with the seemly endless deals for 4 full days, non of it would have happened at PF without a conductor of sorts - the maestro that coordinated the manufacturer and vendors to be able to put the weekend deals in front of us - and what awesome deals they certainly were!

Thank you Adam!

JinDesu · 11-26-2012, 06:25 PM

Hooray for Adam!

Now get us more deals ._.

Ecaterin · 11-26-2012, 07:27 PM

Hip hip hooray

And though you protest that you did, in fact, get sleep - you worked darned hard to make this happen, and your community thanks you!

Another "Thank You" to Adam, the buyers at B&H and Adorama, and to the faceless ones at Pentax USA for dropping MAP, even for a moment.

krebsy75 · 11-26-2012, 08:14 PM

Ditto.

Adam · 11-26-2012, 09:03 PM

You're welcome guys! Hope Pentax learns that they need to offer these deals full-time

Or at least quarterly.

I had pretty much written off a `16-50 or 50-135mm.

reeftool · 11-27-2012, 11:10 AM

Yep, it saved us all a lot of time. I got to spend the beautiful Black Friday on my Harley rather than in front of a computer screen. Thanks Adam!

Adam · 11-27-2012, 11:30 AM

Speaking of deals, the K-01 is down to $316 for good at B&H- just confirmed it with them!

**LaurenOE** · 11-27-2012, 11:33 AM

Thanks for sure, but now I am broke.

Adam · 11-27-2012, 01:01 PM

I just got off the phone with B&H and next week, we're going to try to convince the buyer that some bigger Pentax deals need to happen on a regular basis (i.e. a weekly lens deal).

They're really impressed by how much Pentax stuff got sold on Black Friday, and are well aware of the fact that lenses aren't selling with at MAP, but apparently the latter wasn't enough to convince Pentax Japan to allow the US online UPP restrictions to go away.

Expect an update on this later on

In the mean time, there will be some nice deals on other stuff in the coming days, so stay tuned. Unfortunately I can't share the specifics.

stormtech · 11-27-2012, 01:06 PM

That's good to hear that B&H was impressed.

Even once a month special would be nice - better than what we've had since April 1.

I know that the numbers are top secret, but it would be so neat to see how many Pentax lenses were sold over the 4 day period last weekend.

LFLee · 11-27-2012, 01:24 PM

Ya, Thanks Adam for making my wallet thinner. For me this is the first Pentax purchase in the last.... i think 8 months.

We need some accessories deal as well.

**mikeSF** · 11-27-2012, 01:24 PM

thanks Adam for your tireless efforts to score some deals and let us know about them. I have a DA*55 on order from B&H as a result of your handiwork. My wife is not as thankful.
