I suppose they get fresh inventory from time to time.

Why doesn't their inventory update to show zero balance after they "sold it this morning" though? Or put another way, does it still show up right now? I see this all the time with unicorn parts, not picking on Green Sales, it's just after a while you can smell it, I know damn well they don't have it.

It has happened to me several times so far. No big deal, should have just called earlier.

A NOS Y-block distributor not too long ago was up for BIN on FleaBay, listed for a Mercury iirc, sold for $100, I never saw it, because it was mislabled, though I was scouring daily for one at the time. I did another one eventually, though not at $100

Green Sales updates their inventory every day, the same cannot be said for other repro parts sellers.

They sold it in the morning, by the close of the business day, it's no longer listed.

So, once I list a part, it becomes fair game...anyone that sees the listing can snag it.

Obsolete parts are hard to find, "if you snooze, you lose."

btw: Run this number, C3TZ12127K see how many you can find, lotsa luck. No one on partsvoice.com, rearcounter.com has any, greensalescompany.com doesn't have it either.

But when I ran the number 12/01/2019 (post # 11), Green Sales had it listed on all 3 of these sites. Y'all snoozed, so y'all loosed!

You're right, it is listed as "Out of Stock", good on them, guess I've been trained not to trust any of these websites.
