I don't know what they're saying, but what I heard was, "We don't have it to sell to you, but if we did we'd stick you for at least $55 more dollars."  Janet at Wick's was so nice, I went ahead and bought the last 1000 CCC-42 rivets they had, even though it would be significantly more than the Spruce price.

Ha!  I'm glad I got my order in for 100 of those rivets last Friday. :)

I almost always order from Wicks anymore.  I like their online catalog
better, and FedEx Ground shipments from them are really fast.  They
won't ship the epoxy FedEx Ground though.  The catalog says the
hardener has to be shipped ground, so I specified FedEx Ground.  They
called me (probably Janet) to explain that they could only use UPS
ground because of hazardous shipping licensing issues.  They are very
nice to work with.
