just to step out of their defense, i talked to them on the phone and they
told me the database is just wrong.  they do keep everything they've ever
gotten in there, but it's supposed to indicate whether or not it's for
sale.  i believe the ones they're out of are supposed to say "call for
availablility" or something like that.  nevertheless, i like those guys -
they do have good fair prices.
