Thought I would share that ABT Appliance and Electronics (www.abt.com) in Chicago also has a few of the discontinued Sport band colors in stock right now: 42mm Mint, Stone and Antique White; 38mm in Yellow. Retail price. They also carry some of the woven and Milanese bands.
I looked all over for an Antique White for my 42mm and broke down and bought one from them back in January. In original box. Happy with my purchase from them and arrived promptly. However I wish I lived in the area and could have picked up to save on their shipping which I felt was high and gave them feedback on it. I had to pay 14.45 for ground shipping at the time and it looks like maybe their ground shipping has been reduced since...seeing 11.58 now.
I think at the time Best Buy had Antique White in stock too but their website doesn't have the lock symbol in their url so I didn't order from them. Target which carries some discontinued Sport colors not only has the lock symbol in their url but also the green colored text meaning it's the highest level of encryption. For me that's an important factor to buying online and I'd rather support those companies that "get" it.
