Ok, so I just got off the phone with Pentax.
Pentax says as long as the camera has a USA receipt then it has a one year warranty ... Good info to know if someone else is willing to take a risk and buy a camera from a Crooklyn camera shop. He also said that it doesn't matter if the camera didn't come with a serial card.
Why is every freaking bs internet camera shop closed!!! I tried calling Wild Digital today, but they're closed till tomorrow. I think it's a Jewish holiday. I don't know, I mean for being religious people you'd think they'd have more of a conscience.
Lessons learned, the "grey market" is like the Cold War. Consumers are afraid of what might happen and what they've heard. It's like a blanket statement, sure there are some import cameras out there, but apparently not every camera manufacturer has them. And as I just learned, the companies seem to use this to their advantage. They took me for another 50 bucks because I was afraid of being conned.
Oh well, I'll see what I can think of on Thursday. I still want to return the camera (it's the principle), maybe their greed of overcharging me the two dollars will work for me and against them.
