How often do you visit the website of a supplier of either brushes or safety razors who random drops, if you are trying to get one of their products?
.... Rinse and repeat.
No more! Some vendors thrive on the fiction of artificial scarcity. Some rise to levels of offensive pricing. Some return to lower price levels when products don't sell. There are many reputable vendors who provide excellent products that are readily available with excellent service, making the purchase an excellent customer experience. These are the ones where I now spend my money. YMMV.
I totally agree. However, lately I've noticed that certain vendors have gone the other way; meaning they keep releasing products to the point of creating buyer exhaustion. I'll keep those vendors nameless to protect the innocent.
