Where did all the Apple leather Magsafe Wallet inventory go?

Popped into cex today (in the uk) and got myself two 2nd gen apple wallets (forest green and orange). Not a mark on them, basically boxed as new. £40 for both.

Lots of leather cases at my local TJ Maxx but not a wallet in sight. Hopefully we will see a few pop up in the upcoming weeks!
 
None at my local TJMaxx.

I picked up an Umber off of eBay; it's legit, came in the box, had the cardboard insert that comes in new wallets but it is associated with another Apple ID. Alas.

Nice. How does it work with Find My using two wallets? Do both wallets have the same name in Find My? Obviously, only one is in use when attached but is the naming the same, i.e. 'Tim's Wallet'?

Quoting myself. I got this wallet last Thursday or Friday, and was disappointed that it was tied to a different Apple ID. I get it; it was a return to Apple, and somehow, the eBay reseller ended up with it (they had more than 10 when I bought it).

Last night, I attached it to my phone, and this time, I was prompted to add it to Find My. Hmmm. It shows up under my Apple ID now.

All I can gather is...possibly...the original purchaser of the wallet received prompts that the wallet was detected, went into their Apple ID and removed the wallet, thereby freeing it up for me.

I’m going through something similar. I bought a pretty much brand new midnight from a guy on Mercari and it popped up “Not Your Wallet” when I attached it to my phone. I asked him to remove it from his find my and he said he did. Still showing up as “Not Your Wallet” So I get an annoying pop up every time I put it on the phone.
