[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 2107748, member: 46"] Another thing to keep in mind is that many resellers/stores/websites have gone to having a feed of inventory levels of all their wholesaler, and advertise as in-stock, pending order confirmation and shipment from the distributor. So, if it has to ship from the wholesaler to the store, that adds significant time (not 14 weeks, mind you) and some distributors/wholesalers had as much as a 30 day lead-time on shipping during 2020. Also, if one wholesaler has one item in stock, it will show in stock at EVERY website that has an inventory feed to that wholesaler. So that one single unit will show in stock at multiple places, and then it's just down to who places the order first. [/QUOTE]
