Oh man, Sears… Sears apparently found a treasure trove of part numbers correlated to product names and decided they would sell any and everything known to man online. That they didn't actually have the product (or know what it was) is completely immaterial— you just click "Add to Cart" and then "Check out!" I remember searching for a datasheet for some really old transistors & ICs I found in my late grandfather's TV-repair parts. Sears was light on details, but offered to sell me some brand new ones despite the company having disappeared a few decades ago!
It was a bold strategy, but unfortunately teaching people that your listings are not serious and should be immediately ignored didn't work out in the end. I'm not sure they can pin that on "millennials."
