I assume that the ones in (red) means that they've sold more then they thought they had. That is a common accounting notation.

Yep, red means a negative number. I will personally attest that Wal-Mart's Inventory Control is only as good as the folks they have working at that given store. When I working for Wal-Mart, I would spend 30 minutes looking for an item that was listed with large counts and never finding them, or seeing a negative 12 next to an item when I had 100 in the box next to me.
I just sent my parents in GA to their local stores when I saw two stores in their area on the list.
Update: just got a call from the parents: don't bother going to the store on Bobby Jones in Augusta, they were just bought out.
The other store on Augusta should still have some.
