What's up with Amazon these days?

It seems like everything I look for these days has ‘Limited Availability’ (which when you investigate further means “not available at all”) or just isn’t there.

Maybe it’s just the UK site, and/or maybe it’s just non-book/dvd products. I’ve searched for graphics cards and found either crappy low-spec budget cards, or stupidly expensive watercooled monsters, nothing inbetween. I’ve searched for speaker systems and found nothing better than my current cheap-n-nasty £60 5.1 system. I’ve tried to find ac adapters for the various portable things I have, no luck there.

To cut a long story short they seem to be reducing themselves to a sparse stock of obscure items.

It seems a real problem with the UK site. Especially sine ‘Limited Availability’ has allways meant unavailable. The US site is much more efficient at keeping stock levels high.
