[Dazzler!]

Because they are bogus!

I could be wrong but I thought it was now illegal to advertise something that isnt in stock!

 

[lynnieb]

if i thought they'd reply I'd write to them

They certainly spend a lot of time, particularly during craft shows, saying they're not allowed to keep on talking about things that are sold out.

Because they're stupid.

They advertise what they 'think' are the best sellers, just so you'll be delirious with disappointmet and order something else to feed your need for retail therapy....this has never happened to me, of course!

When a product that is currently on screen shows as out of stock on-line it's often worth waiting a few mins and trying again as it may pop out of someone's basket.

They've been flogging the salt & pepper mill forever. If you're desperate something similar appears from time to time in the Scotts of Stow catalogue
