Amazon/6ave

I came across a camera bundle I've been looking at on Amazon. It's a Pentax, has the features I'm looking for and the price is very good but it lists "6ave" as the seller and that's my concern. I thought 6ave went out of business. It offers an 4 yr extended warranty also at a reasonable price. Any thoughts?
(I'm not looking for an opinion on the camera itself)

Is Amazon offering the warranty? I just got the Pentax 560mm lens and the coverage was by a third party (SmartGuard) aligned with Amazon. The 4 year cost was very reasonable.

From what I just found, for me the proverbial 10-foot pole would be too short!

I just checked - the lens came from Electronics Basket not 6th Ave. Which Pentax are you considering?

Stay away. Buy from B&H or Adorama.

A vendor on the Amazon site may have nothing to do with Amazon other then buying advertising space,so beware. Beware of lower prices to start with.
