Steve...I was a retailer of big-ticket items and I can tell you that if you don't have the unit in stock when the customer has the $$$ in his hand, YOU LOSE THE DEAL...especially if it is an immediate gratification/entertainment-oriented unit, like a pc or a color tv. The customer is generally a little more patient on stoves, refrigerators, and other necessities. Of course the Christmas deadline adds even more pressure to the "I wanna take it out the door NOW" mentality. Stephen
