From a marketing perspective, if all their stores start to > carry Pentax SLRs, this could be bigger in the US than the *ist. I noticed many times that they have those items that are obsolete, one year late models or dumped in the market for the fast stock cleanup etc. There were a number of brand name items in this category such as Sony or Nikon etc. Home electronic items are usually in this category. These apparently sell very well, and usually gone in a few to several days and you will never see them again. Selling a big qty to Costco is apparently a fast and efficient way to clean up the suppliers' warehouse. Maybe this is a sign that Pentax is cleaning up their dead stock in preparation for the introduction of "you guessed it" *ist. Juts came to my mind. Cheers, Ken
