Brokered items at DAZ disappear all the time (well, ...frequently). Product offers can be removed for numerous reasons (due to poor sales, or a desire by the broker to market elsewhere, etc.). How you can make such a leap as one item missing = Michael 2 is canned is beyond me.

Nonetheless, the only Alligator Coat i've ever seen at DAZ is still there http://secure.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=1781
