Give it up.  Enough of the whining already.

These deals literally were "warehouse/storage sales", where they had damaged product
they wouldn't sell retail in such shape.

I believe Europe S@H does the same from time to time, and certain AFOLs just don't
mention it at large, to keep getting the parts at killer prices (prove me wrong -
show me where some of the parts showing on Bricklink in large quantities in the last
year or 2 have been produced in ANY set within the last 10 years).

And non-US S@H sites continue to occasionally list parts packs from decades past,
simply because they found a pallet or boxes of them here or there, and wanted to
sell them off (garage door pack and boxcar door packs, for example, a couple of
years ago).

While your prices may be higher, at least *you can get* many items that the US will
never see.
