Is this a sign that the economy is "so bad" that the stores "can't" give sales?

Or the economy is so good that they would be crazy to.

Special edition mechnical keyboards sell out FAST these days...no need to give sales, although a lot of sites were offering free shipping a few weeks ago when holiday shipments were going out.

I was wondering the same thing.

Were there good keyboard sales in the past?

NewEgg/Amazon constantly has sales on Rosewill keyboards.
Elite Keyboards lowered the prices of almost all of their boards from $109 to $89-$99.
Unicomp had a free shipping Black Friday special.
Mechanical Keyboards.com had a free shipping Black Friday special.
Amazon/Filco need no specials - the stuff just disappears.

Filco is a rip off, and you know it....

For example, the Ducky 9008 Pro LE with the green switches, sold out in early December in about a week.  Was just saying, there's pretty high demand for these things nowadays, and they're not made in particularly high supply, so it makes sense that sellers don't feel the need to offer major sales.
