Jessops have stock centrally, say you wanted to buy a D700 in Grimsby, you would have to order it online with a collect in store with a view to paying when in store. So they would either have to get one in from another store or from direct manufacture, I would guess Jessops would be getting single items on sale or return to do this.

Remember Jessops will be on 30 day terms, plus possibly delaying payment by another 30 to 60 days so the SOR would be irrelevant as its regular for B2B transactions for items to be returned for credit..

hmm try getting your hands on say a D300s or a D700 in any Jessops except London or Manchester, or a 5D mk2.

You'll get the same response, we can order one in for you...

this isn't a Pentax problem its a Jessops financial problem...

if you are goign t spend around £100 on a storage device, why not buy more memory cards & cut out the back up process???

I am guessing the price increases are as a result of the general increase in all supplies & services we have all suffered from this year.

Why is there this need to convert anyone to anything, you buy a product, it either works for you or it doesn't.

I never understand why people want other people to be teh same as them, be an individual, it's more fun

Yes all are whacking up prices at the moment, almost pricing the enthusiast out of the market for the top notch stuff. It seems a general re-alignment of prices to the pros who either have the purchasing muscle or have an employer who will buy the kit no matter the cost (the Press)

Not many staffers nowadays, most have been made redundant in teh last year, so its not employers buying kit beleive me...
