You'll notice that they keep relisting the same items. I think they pull some items before stock runs out, and for others they "let" stock run out to create hype and then relist it again. There's a couple mountain shirts that seem to show up there pretty often.
Ultegra STI shifters were there 2 weeks ago, and they just popped up again. I think it's all part of their marketing strategy ... based on the success of steepandcheap it appears to be working.
