Haswell Overcome by Haswell Refresh

Hey all.

I was planning to build a Haswell system (i5 4430) (In Australia) and all was well, had a plan and everything.
Then came back to see if prices had gone and the parts had vanished.
I can hardly find any retailers in Australia selling i5 4430 cpus they have all been replaced by Haswell Refresh ones (i5 4460).
Is this because its the new one and they get rid of the old stuff.
I really dont wanna buy my parts second hand and so far i cant find retailers selling just normal Haswell CPUS.
Any help is appreciated :)

Yeah, most stores normally get rid of their old inventory to make way for new inventory.

Like frys was selling Z87 boards for like 8 bucks to make way for Z97 boards.

The problem with older haswell CPU is that their prices seem to refuse to fall. The new haswell refresh cpu are even sometimes cheaper!

Ivy Bridge CPU prices are still around the same.
