Keep in mind that you're calling from Seattle, and here I am in Houston,
reading your message.  Commodore has many distributors nationwide, broken
down into regions... even if the distributor in Seattle quit, that
wouldn't affect anyone beyond the Pacific Northwest.

If you want a 1571/81 you could always go mail-order.. or buy from a chain 
that has their own distribution network, like Toys'R'Us. 

Unless, of course, Commodore has ceased manufacture of all 8-bit
equipment...
