Seem Amazon and Adorama have the same price.
IN Canada Price is still lower than in USA at $726 US

It's been at this level for all of 2019, I believe.

How do you guys read this signal?
Too much success / no more stock?
Policy change on pentax side?
Preparing K3 III introduction?

Looking at the Christmas Season sales, where most of the "sale" items were cameras like the GR, WG, and Theta - cameras that were being replaced - I thought the KP might be near the end of production, but from what we've been told since then - the "K-3ii Replacement" may be the only Pentax camera this year, and it will be at the end of the year - I don't know how to interpret anything.

Yes, it went up to this price from the Black Friday / Christmas Season price of $700.
{I've been carefully watching its price ever since I purchased one on Black Friday}

I also dont understand this as beginning of 2020 is supposed to be release date of K3 iii (from CP+)
Then starting inventory flush of KP more than one year earlier doesnt make much sense.
Either there was a huge quantity of KPs to get rid off, or K3 iii will be released later than expected, or they want to restore some higher price tag in collective mind for KP so that highly priced K3 iii will not be to much of a scarecrow
