"Usually ships in 21-30 business days"

Gotta read the fine print...

jogiba · 06-26-2009, 11:21 AM

Then why would it say "Only 5 left in stock, order soon!" ?

How strange that it also shows shipping in 21-30 days. Maybe "in stock" really means "on order."

My best guess is that Willoughby's knows that they will only be getting 5 K-7s in their first shipment from Pentax, coming sometime in the next couple of weeks, so listing them as "in stock" might be a good way to sell all 5 rather quickly (whether they're able to ship them to the buyer right away or not).

Due to this scam, I'll never order anything from this dealer nor will I ever visit their website.

Once I got Great service from B&H, like predictable fast processed orders and deliveries and bulletproof return on a defective Sigma lens, all other NY dealers along with other Dealers in other States are Dead To Me.

I agree B&H is also the largest volume Pentax dealer on the planet.

You mean a "reputable" Pentax Dealer that you would order from again. It's unfortunate but I have to believe that QVC (I know they're not really considered a dealer) could probably move more Pentax merchandise in one hour than B&H would in a month.

nanok · 06-28-2009, 12:32 PM

i think "only 5 in stock!" is standard salesman bullshit. supposed to grab your attention and determine you to act.

Adorama's always been good to me, they've got a trustworth rep. Definitely beware anyone else than those two in NYC.

Don't bother with Ritz/Wolfe camera. I am going to be in Knoxville for the early part of July and thought perhaps I could pick up the K-7 while I'm there. This store told me they just sent back all of their Pentax stock and will no longer carry the brand! Did they make ANOTHER bad business decision?

mysterick · 06-30-2009, 10:08 AM

B&H just uped the price $13.00 on the K20D.
