Those might be legitimate deals, but I personally won't do business with Abe's due to their reputation for bait 'n switch and gray market goods. It also seems flaky that they are not in Maine and never have been. :eek:
FWIW, Abe's did not come up in my Web search. I just took a look at their site and was surprised to find that with the exception of 645Z, none of their Pentax bodies are current product. Are they an authorized dealer?

Truly? Non-gray market with warranty?
I just did a quick Internet search for a K-3 and came up dry at under $1350 USD, body only. One can get a K-50 new on eBay for about $500, but other vendors want quite a bit more. Ditto for the K-30. K-5s start at about $650 and go up to over $1000. I don't see that picture to be particularly enticing, particularly for the K-3. Bargain prices new with full US warranty might well be out there, but are doing their best to remain hidden.

One does not need Prime to get the $799 pricing.

If you can find one at a price you can currently manage and are confident it will meet your needs, buy it.
