It kinda sucks that everybody who wanted them couldn't get them, but
has anybody considered the possibility that Jorgensen may not have
allowed Woodcraft to buy as many as they wanted? It sounds like
Jorgensen made no money on the added production necessary to make all
of these things, so I'd expect that they limited retailers to a
certain number of clamps (to prevent them from stocking up and
screwing Jorgensen out of future profitable sales).

There was a letter from the folks at Adjustable Clamp Co (maker of
Jorgensen) that stated the various companies were allowed to order as many
as they wanted for this special. However, they had to have their order in a
while ago and couldn't order more at that price.
