I've had a >$1000 product In my buy later for over a year. I'm actually planning on buying it really soon.

It's gone from "only 11 left" to "only 15 left" to "only 5 left" to "only 11 left" and like, that isn't how the word "only" works.

Edit: read no further. You will lose brain cells.

But it is how it works. There are literally Millions of people buying stuff on Amazon on any one day.

Amazon and in fact no store just buys 7 widgets, and that's all they're ever going to own. They have a constant supply going in from suppliers, and a constant supply going out in the form of purchases.

Anything that doesn't - isn't selling and it's costing someone a huge amount of money to sit there, taking up space.
