Why some dealers don't update their online inventories often

It's because they can get more than one person to call about the same coin. If you're a new customer (or even existing), they can get your contact information, and they also know what interests you. This allows them to sell future coins to you.
Happened to me several times. I call about a coin that's been sold... lo and behold I get a call sometime later about an available coin, or I start getting their regular mail offerings.
Of course, not all dealers do this, some just simply take time to update.

That approach -- and result -- have worked with me more than once.

I agree. This is a big turn off for me and almost seems like telemarketing.
However, once I've established a relationship as a regular customer of a dealer, I like getting notified about coins they think I would have an interest in...but we gotta get to know each other first.
