I'm not an expert but my corner "ma and pa" hardware store can make about 2 clicks on their computer and tell me not only if they have an item but exactly how many in stock at that moment in time.

If inventory and tracking software is cheap enough for a local low buck store ..you can't tell me that Brother's doesn't have it already.

I still think that it's in their best interest NOT to tell you they don't have something "ready to ship" because they know you might look somewhere else. IMHO
Wow agree with you on this. I was just thinking about my neighborhood hardware store also.

It might be a good way to get hold of peoples' money, but in this age of the internet your reputation can be tarnished pretty fast...
