Surely they will have sold some of them. Also others may have been used as
replacements for existing members.
They could also have been returned to the manufacturer. to think they are
still available is just a guess. There is no basis in fact.

Just one niggly point though. I don't have the quote but the post
with the figures said there were 1000 players available, that's what
I heard. Then they said there were 850 players taken, which leaves
150 not 250. Just mentioning that to make you check before you say
you know they have 250 players left. I was thinking also isn't there
a chance although they said the first 1000 to respond could get a
player does that mean they are now available? Will they really have
ordered all those players into stock and have them sitting on the shelf?
