Of that, I'm almost certain.  They've been sitting on some of this stuff 
for over twenty years.  I run into establishments like this IRL:  Some
old geezer, store filled to the gunwales with NOS 'stuff', and positively
*refuses* to mark down any of the merchandise that's 'slow moving'.

Ten years later, the store looks about the same, with the same 'stuff'. .

  In looking at their page last night I noticed that
while some of 
 thier prices are quite reasonable, a lot of them are insane!  When I say 
...
  insane, I mean insane even for dealers whose sole
reason for existance is 
...
  keeping old hardware alive!   
Yep.  Like I said: *DRUGS*.
