And of course Amazon never gets any, so I never get a notification they are available and by the time I was made aware they are all gone.

This is pissing me off. I don't even get a chance to get them because I am full time employee who works for a living and doesn't spend his days surfing the web. Sure I can get some, but I'd pay 2 to 3 times as much on eBay because all these people are buying them up to scalp them
