 They have the K20D for $1162 (as I recall without going back to check)
 plus free shipping. 
 This message is primarily intended for any who regard this relatively
 small saving as significant. 
 I'm hanging back, but with no specific reservations. Just watching

Just in case the other warnings weren't enough.  I found a couple of

http://donwiss.com/pictures/BrooklynStores/h0049.htm

Now while a simple hole in the wall for store, (try to visit KEH 
sometime and they're quite reputable), with just a web presence isn't 
bad, this doesn't look good.
