For sale here
Seems like a bargain, or a mistake, I bought two, hope I didn't do anything stupid.
Thought I'd let people know here.

Thanks for the tip off. Have just gone for one as well. Have to wait and see. I did ring the Calumet number given, and the girl said that the person dealing with internet stuff was not in today (Sat), but to try it and they'd contct us if it was a problem!

I wouldn't have told'em anything myself, just in case them change their mind, or realize their mistake (if that's what it is)
We'll see....

Well looking back they had the flashes for £259 but withdrew the auction due to a mistake in the listing and then relisted so maybe it is correct and they are just fed up with dead stock.

. Sorry if upset the apple-cart or whatever! However I do tend to point things out if I see an error like that in a shop - they appreciate it (and can't believe it!). But I know I'd appreciate someone pointing the same out to me for my error!
Also did it partly to check the authenticity of the ad

Kudos to you halfpics.

If it is an error, I was expecting an email from them canceling the sale anyway. There were K20Ds on sale at amazon US for 200-something dollars the other day, obviously none of them eventually shipped.

I read that quickly as Kudos you halfwit .. thought you were being rude to a member called Kudos for a second.

Anyway, I held off paying and just received an invoice from them and as it looks manually sent I presume the price should be correct.

You made me laugh.

I only joined last week, I'll wait a bit before insulting members

It will be genuine as they have been clearing off their Pentax stocks recently, and quite cheaply I might add! Wish they had more though, would have had another one!

I got my K10D from Calumet through Amazon, when they (presumably accidentaly) listed it less the VAT (£468 instead of £549). They still honoured the sale though.
