Inventory numbers are also an irrelevant metric when it comes to how long an item is going to stay in stock.
New items come in all the time, so what might be 3 in stock this minute may be 103 the next.
Also, depending on the item, 12000 in stock right now might be zero in one second if there's suddenly a run on it.

Seems to me that the best tactic would be to only show inventory numbers when it's below a certain threshold or the velocity of the inventory is decreasing sharply.
