In an age of instant gratification fed by federated clearing houses of on-line retail excess, i think it’s perfectly fine wait for things from time to time.
Sure, I love being able to get what I want when I want it - but that’s an unreasonable and unsustainable expectation for ALL things at ALL times. There are 1000 sellers able to provide cables, housing, and derailers through Amazon (and now Walmart on-line sales) - but those are commodity goods that can be provided by a countless number of sellers. I never know if Seller A is out of something I want, because sellers B through Z are always there to provide what I want when A can’t. That’s great, but it’s a model that only works for readily available, mass-produced, commodities. Once you step out of the high volume commodity market, expectations of instant gratification must contend with the realities of small batch production, raw material availability, suppliers who freak out and run away to Cabo when a big order is due, and the never ending small-business cash flow/inventory dance of the macabre. Expectations must be adjusted when one wants what Amazon doesn’t provide.
