A forum running articles that's only agenda is to help profit a company doing a clear out sale isn't tasteful.
I'd NEVER buy anything from B&H/Adorama.
I'd like to clarify Adorama's relationship with Pentax Forum, if I may.
I was aware that the forum owner was struggling to keep the site running, so several years ago I approached him with a suggestion to benefit us both.
Purchases made by clicking on links on his site would give him an affiliate fee.
This helped him keep the site afloat, and gave us greater exposure. It's not an unusual model – in the US at least. And as a family-owned business, we understand only too well hard it is to compete with a real giant (in our case, Amazon)
I'm really sorry that it's led you to feel that we are not a worthwhile company to deal with.
