That link was dead for me, but I found them at the uk site:

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/PENTAX-UK-LTD-OUTLET

Also noticed a PentaxUserUK shop - is that related to here?

They (Pentax) are only doing what Canon have been doing for sometime now, Canon sell lots of gear through E-Bay.

Hi All,

Just joined so haven't had time to set up my profile. I bought a K10D from the outlet site last week. it was faulty right out the box.
Very sadly it had to be sent back, leaving me searching for a decent K10D.

Later,
John

Been talking to a owner of a photographic shop today who use to sell Pentax gear years ago, He had a Pentax rep call on him Monday and showed him all the Pentax gear except the K-M etc, etc.

Anyway the shop owner rang me to say he had a K20D etc in stock if I still required one, and that if I required anything he will be stocking most things soon.
He also said Pentax and Jessops had a new contract formed and changes were afoot. We will see

I can't find any indication that this seller has anything to do with Pentax themselves.

Ah, thank you. That clears that up, but I think they should look very carefully at their detailed feedback...

The detailed feedback scores give a result out of five for various aspects of performance.

Such as accuracy of description, speed of despatch, communication, shipping costs.

Welcome to the forum John, hope your enjoying your "decent" K10D, obviously someone at this outlet wasn't doing their job properly

Can I say what a decent guy you must be, only leaving nuetral feedback after recieving a faulty item, many ebayers would have gone straight in with a negative....you can buy off me anytime
