I happened to check CPW today, and noticed that both body only 7D's as well as Kits are commonly on stock.
Sure, the big stores sell out, but only a few days after the cameras have started shipping, there appears to be no problem getting one from a Authorized Dealer without paying a inflated price.
Some have bought them on speculation, and are going to find there is no profit in selling them, unless, of course, they manage to convince someone that they are not available.
There is nothing wrong with the camera, but money is tight, and the camera is, imho, over priced. I expect that they will be a bit harder to find after Black Friday, but gray market camera will be flooding ebay by then.
Camera Canada sells them for $1698 USD right now, and two US Authorized dealers have them on stock.

Everyone has kits, and, again, you can save over $100 from Camera Canada
