I've found that often the online shops don't actually have inventory of the things they offer for sale, they take orders and then relay them somewhere else to be drop-shipped to you. And when that somewhere else (the actual supplier with inventory) changes - part number discontinued, inventory goes to zero (and that fact also gets relayed, which isn't 100% of the time), then you'll find that all the online shops drop it as well.

If a bunch of online shops were showing it for a discount, then again it could be because their supplier (the actual place with inventory) is what originally triggered it - they dropped their price, the online shops did as well.

Poor explanation, but hopefully made some sense.
