Most dealers don't carry them because very few now a days care or buy them. Been to York lately? Only the new or like new may sell. I don't even look at them anymore, some like them but most don't.

Each has their own focus; new, old or in between. There is no one universal answer for everyone, but for me, pre&post is for me and I find certain stores as well as York has been amazing in that regard.
