Re: mail order companies listing the VCR backup before they have it...

Well, the ads are prepared 2 months in advance, usually, so the mail-order
company may strongly believe that a product will be in stock because of
promises from the manufacturer.

In Ingenuity's case, they made their dealers kind of mad by undercutting their
dealer's prices.  Sort of a rude way of saying "hey, we don't need you
anymore, go away" and selling direct instead of through dealers.

Disclaimer: I work for Quality Computers.  Take any comments about the
            mail-order business in light of this fact.
