I ordered a Numark TTUSB turntable from Amazon back in December, they had 2-left. An email shortly afterwards told me they were on back order, then it would be shipped in January, then in April, then yesterday in June, all the while showing that you could still order them from Amazon, not their marketplace... I cancelled last night and ordered from J&R Music world. I'm not sure what needs to be transactional about eBay though... care to comment ?
