Sounds like you have the same sort of luck I do when I go shopping!
"Outta-Stock" seems to be the brand that keeps coming up when I look for
things. :\

Two pieces of hardware I think we've gone backwards on are:
RaspberryPi
USB
When I woke up today my USB keyboard and mouse were deadlocked! Fortunately
I was able to get in via my cellphone using JuiceSSH and killed my Xorg
session... then restarted my desktop (Trinity - a rewrite of KDE3). I also
had one of my packet TNCs on USB and that snoozed daily. Once on a real
9-pin serial port, it's been alive and well since.

Another place you can check is geeks.com. I know they've changed but years
ago I got some great stuff from them at decent prices! Two "build your own"
kits I got I still have - 20 years later - and both work just fine!
wish.com just sounds like something you'd use to send John Cena to visit a
very unfortunate child :)
