in my area liquidated and shut down back when the K-7 was replacing the
K20D, at which time they were trying to still sell K10Ds for full
introductory price as a close out special. I don't think Pentax reps
answered Ritz/Wolf's phone calls any more than they answer Milford Camera's,
so I doubt anyone will find relatively current Pentax equipment at bargain
prices, though I'll bet the liquidators will be trying to sell any new old
stock Pentax *ist-D cameras they find at 10% off original list.

I will not miss them at all. Terrible stores, terrible selection,
poorly-trained staff, etc.
Hopefully local mom-&-pop camera shops will be able to return one day,
when the economy improves, now that this behemoth is out of the way.
If you're a deal hunter, people on Reddit.com are saying Ritz and Wolf
stores are already liquidating everything (except their lab
equipment). I don't recall ever seeing much Pentax stuff there, but
you might find deals on accessories.
