Typical response from too many people on here. His point about a company stepping up their video game is a good one. I also wish Pentax would do the same.

I would just say that we do have a lot of non-American people on the forum and people for whom English is not their first language and I can understand how this sort of humor could be taken as an attack on someone. If a joke needs an explanation to work, then it probably doesn't work on this audience.

Good morning.
I disagree in some points with this article.
In my opinion FF and APS-C are different tools and both have their pros and cons. But coming from film I miss wideangles without too much distortion. Sorry... That's FF . Same thing for 31mm and 43 mm : on APSC they have a character but that's not their nature. But, for sure, If I take pics of my son doing sports of course I like the crop factor when using teles (and that's why I will NEVER sell my trusted and beloved k5). The same for macro. But I would like using a T/S or a 24 with the FOV they are intended to(ok..no many T/S in pentax right now,,,).
Then, just another consideration:people coming from film camera sistem(just like me) years ago had to choose between APS-C and FF considering a really huge difference in price... and many didn't had the possibility to afford the price of a FF body even if they would like to buy it(I used Canon gear, I wasn't a Canon loyal fan and Eos 5d II-III was really expensive and over priced). Now the time has come people can choose between APS-C and FF spending quite the same amount of money for a camera body...that's good for all of us!!!!!
I was considering to buy a Sony a7 II when Pentax FF was announced . Now I'm very happy I could invest in a Pentax FF that will be my second camera and use lenses like they were intended in the film days. A 20 mm on FF would be a real wideangle and there would be no need to go to 10-20 mm zooms for APS-C. But that's the way I see things, many would differ and I respect them all!
Best regards.
Matteo

Yes, I suppose the seller should always do a little homework before the sale. It's the smart thing to do. It is never really a buyers place to educate the seller, unless you are a dealer and care about your reputation. I have also come across some smoking deals a few times and been the recipient of free gear that was worth hundreds of dollars (if I ever sold the freebies, guess where the money would go...back to the kind souls who gave to me...but that's just me).
However, what really stinks is to find an amazing deal from someone without a clue, and then proceed to squeak an extra $15 dollars out of an already stupid low price. I guess what I'm saying is that when a person I'd blessed enough to stumble across something they really want for an insane (uneducated) price...just pay the money they are asking and enjoy your own good fortune.
I can only think that one would want their own heirs to be treated the same when dealing with your estate. Just something to think about.
