We've actually tried a bunch of different algorithms for pricing and we're still figuring out the best formula.
It's very atypical for a vendor to set the price to $999 to indicate OoS, since they do provide us with quantity information and can also choose to delist parts from their data feed. We generally get pretty good data from vendors and we have internal consistency checks to filter out the few odd cases where something doesn't line up.
