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.

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.
