Originally posted by RobG The price from Pentax Australia is also stubbornly stuck at AUD$1300. Even in Japan, it's only $875. As usual, the US market gets the best prices. I'd like to buy from Pentax Australia, but I just can't justify the premium even with the cost of postage and GST from the USA. If I could get it from somewhere for less than AUD$1000 I wouldn't have to pay GST.
DCXpert on eBay are a bit sharper on their pricing than Pentax Australia but still nothing like these deals.
I phoned CR Kennedy a couple of weeks ago to see what they would do about pricing on a body, grip and flu card bundle, they told me to go in to Ted's ask Ted's to call them to work out a deal. No actual commitment to a certain price or a price match but they strongly suggested it would be much better than RRP.
I'm now crossing my fingers for the Aussie dollar to pick up a bit or at least hold firm until the Black Friday sales so we get below the A$1000 threshold and then I'll be a K3 owner.
