A library can say "Yes we have that book." when you go to look for it online. So you go to reserve it and then they come back and say "Sorry, but we really don't have it."

Most stores will only allow you so long to pick up your purchase before it goes back in stock. No store will hold your purchase for 9 months waiting for you to get it. And then if the item is no longer available, you are out of luck. You might get lucky and get a refund. But probably not. You'd most likely get a store credit at best.
