| No idea who it was, but years ago I ran across a store that essentially copy/pasted
my store terms. Was kinda weird. Didn't say anything to them.

I’ve also seen that with a store in the past although it was different countries

of feedback if I remember correctly but the item i was looking for that led me

No, the stores had a business relationship and synchronized their stock on a
nightly(?) basis - like if store A had 6 of part X, and store B had 2 of the
same part, the after the sync they would both have 4. But between them they legitimately
had 8 X's.

| So if I bought 4 from the store that had 2 they would have to ship from two different
store to fill my order?
Help me make sense of this?

No, you would not have been able to buy from that store because they wouldn't
have had them in inventory at the time.

OK, I understand you now.
To be clear
Day 1: Store A has 6 of X and Store B has 2
Day 2: No one has bought any X so both Store A and Store B have 4 X's
*legomalego buys 4 X's from Store A*
Day 3: 4 X's are shipped to legomalego from Store A & B's central location
Also Day 3: legomalego was the only buyer who bought X on Day 2, so both Store
A and Store B now have 2 X's

| Ok, the central location explains it.
Now I am wondering, after I bought 4 and the stores are synced showing 2 in each
store. Along comes the next buyer looking for four, do they not end up skipping
both stores because neither can fulfill their quantity needs? (When actually
both could)
