From my experience the computerized inventory system has a delay of about 3 months. It determined that this item sold out for 12 weeks straight,

I've been working on an old car, in the process of removing the spot welds I needed a specific sized bullet tipped drill bit. The bit would only last about 5 welds and I had hundreds to do. The only place I could find locally to buy the bits was in a pack of 15 various size bits at the local home center. So, over the period of three months, I purchased all of their drill sets, every weekend (usually 3 sets). Now I have disassembled the old car and don't need more bits. The last time I was in the home center they had so many of these drill bit sets that they were overflowing on to the floor. plugged this into it's inventory tracking prediction S/W and ordered hundreds and hundreds of sets...... ------------------------------
