Thanks for your indsights. The thing I don't understand is I can't even see who has it so I can contact him or her or join one of his her groups! As it was in my want list I got an email from switchplanet but when I replied it was already in limbo!!!
Oh well, I'll keep hoping for some other Doctor Who episodes to come up in the meantime...

(1) There could be a switch transaction pending.
(2) You can suggest to the switcher that you would really like the item. And he'she might open it up to avail to the ALL, like when it has remained on-the-shelf for so long, so to speak.
(3) Or you might join the grp where it is avail to if you are amenable to that.

It could be a couple of reasons.
1.That person is on Vacation mode
2.It may only be available to that persons friends or groups

Hello, I am new at this but I was wondering if any of you sci-fi groupies could help me. There is an item which I am dying to get listed as available when doing a search but that also says currently unavailable when I click on it. It is a Doctor Who episode (Resurrection of the Daleks from the classic series i.e. 20th century TV!). I joined SP to upgrade my Doctor Who collection and it just stares at me day after day, unatainable...
Can anyone explain to me why it is available and unavailable at the same time? Ironically it looks like a typical Doctor Who time paradox...!
Thanks for your input.
