Just got stood up by RS, their online catalogue stated that the two display types I'm looking for were in stock for immediate delivery, but after the order was placed I got a phone call stating that both were obsolete, no longer available. I'm a bit surprised at this from a reputable vendor. Was I just unlucky, or is this a common occurrence?

Yes, and element 14 are similar. Has been getting worse over the past couple of years. Nobody wants to hold stock anymore.
Sounds more like a stock-control issue. The web site says they're available because the stock database says they're in stock. But when someone goes to pick one, they find the shelf is bare.

Yes, but also reality control. If people know just how many nonexistent products they had it may not do much for their reputation.
