Austrian Rail : Timing of Sparschine Tickets

I'm looking to travel from Prague to Salzburg in early July. Tickets are available at the oebb.at web site through July 14th. I want to travel before that date. What is curious to me is that I can buy a super saver ticket for June 30 ( 167 days from today) for € 23.70 for second class. Yet, for every available date in July (July 1 through July 14) only standard tickets are available at € 87.30 for second class.

Does anyone know when Austrian rail makes super saver tickets available? I thought, like DBahn, that the super saver tickets are limited and go on sale early (while they last).

Thanks for your help.

The way OeBB does its price calculation is arcane. I guess nobody really understands their computer algorithms.
In your specific case I would wait a few months, and I would cross-check the ticket price on the Czech Railways' website.
