BRICKseek seems pretty accurate.
When I saw the deal it said 8 in stock at my local store.
When I got home after buying two, I checked and it said 6 in stock.
How do they do that?

In the case of BS, it’s done with the knowledge and cooperation of the retailers. Besides, I think the API’s are public anyway because personal web browsers need access to the data when prospective customers are browsing the site.

Local store shows 33 and clearance. Website shows not for sale at your store.

My store still lists
6 with a
'clearance' price.
The HD website (my local store) lists the normal price and
'This product can't be picked up in store'.
if possible, I'd go to (or call) the store.
They were locked in a cabinet near the self checkout area in my store. Need to ask a cashier.

How/where do you get that information?

went to the store, I asked 3 employees, no one knew for sure but told me where to look for... one said end of the aisle, the other electric, the other "by the checkouts".
I asked one of them to look it up and he could not find on on his smart phone (or whatever they carry).
On the way out I found 2 other guys chatting. I asked them, and one of them got so enthusiastic and told me they gad 3 other guys looking for this item today and that they could not find it in the entire store. He even tried to delete it from their inventory and he could not do that. he told me how the other guys went to other stores and they also could not find them.
Anyway, the store was on my way to run errands and I had to make a return so I don't feel too bad about the time wasted there.
