    For me that number is only what’s left at the Amazon warehouse in my city. There’s always more stock or listings when I deselect ‘Delivered within 2 days’. Because Amazon warehouses in other cities can’t ship to me within 2 days, we’re too remote.

      I remember booking.com getting slapped by that a while ago so now they say ‘X available on our site’ because there could always be some on another site.

    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.
