I've actually got mine set up in quite a specific way fir a few reasons sometimes products will be back in stock so the page gives them the option of being notified when it's back in stock the page also links to alternative products which may be suitable I also have it set so items I gave marked as prepress can be sold and offer the instock notification as well the thing us that often there's a sudden rush on certain items so it sells out but we don't want to completely remove the page as e want customers to know that we do stock the best and most popular items too also when items are linked from an external site f they are disabled you just get a page not found error which is even more annoying than not in stock. As I said these things are really very specific to a target Market industry and store.
