    They don't have an obligation to sell.

    That's a good question.

    Ainslie is a fantastic dealership though quite small from a staffing perspective. They probably have that many people coming in and that many orders coming in via web they cant keep up.

    Bullion bourse are saying delays of 4 weeks for online orders. Different business model. One could be clearing backorder before opening again, ensuring good delivery times and customer service. The other could just be taking as many orders as they can and letting them back up.

    We all know how that turned out for SBSS crew.

    I don't have a problem with Ainlsie and have been a long time buyer from them... I just wished they would put up a "message" or something when they do it...

    anyway... they have now put up a post on their facebook....
