I take it that there are certain vendors that are closed to new clients. So as a new person, am I forever shut out from them? particularly looking for domestic h vendors.

Stealth means that the user does not have public listings. This benefits them as their current clientele is more than enough, and they want to be loyal to their regulars. If you know the user that you're interested in buying from, you can still send a message and ask about if and when they can do business with you.
Stealth mode also comes with its limitations. If a seller stays in stealth for a while, eventually they will lose some customers who buy somewhere else, quit, or change frequency (or countless other reasons). This will force the vendor in question to come out from hiding and look for new customers. I don't think there are many vendors who will permanently hide in stealth mode.
