FYI -

Just came across a bunch of these parts in color coral:
 
Part No: 27507  Name: Tile, Round Corner 4 x 4 Macaroni Wide
* 
27507 Tile, Round Corner 4 x 4 Macaroni Wide
Parts: Tile, Round
It looks like there are two distinct shades. One exactly matches coral color
for this part we have:
 
Part No: 41740  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with 2 Studs with Groove
* 
41740 Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with 2 Studs with Groove
Parts: Plate, Modified
The other one is lighter - less saturated. TLG calls the new color "vibrant coral".
The lighter shade could almost be called "regular coral". Or of course another
instance of bad quality control.

I can see if I can make a pic later.

For those of us that run a shop with the inventory storage based on the BL catalog,
it can be a puzzle when items get moved to a different category.

Internally we have a web page that shows items that have moved. Would that be
helpful for others as well? See this link:

http://www.qwertyboy.org/files/BL/BL-catalog-changes.php

Currently I have it limited to only pick "parts" or "minifigs" - in the last
month there have been an _insane_ amount of category changes for gear/sets/instructions
etc.

For a second time in two days, a quote which we replied to was automatically
canceled because an item was bought by another customer. This has left us with
very upset customers.

While I understand these quotes are no longer valid, having them canceled automatically
without any explanation (especially to the customer) is unacceptable. If
the system is able to cancel quotes for this reason, the system should at least
send a simple email to the parties involved.

As well, currently there is no way of telling why quotes were canceled. You cannot
even tell if the customer decided to cancel, and you cannot easily tell if the
system auto-canceled by comparing quote change and order creation times, as cancellation
appears to happen "some time" within an hour of order placement.

So my suggestion is twofold:

- Send both buyer and seller an email whenever a quote gets canceled and put
the cancel "trigger" in the message (like either "canceled by buyer" or "canceled
by system because item xxxx is no longer available");
- Record the reason for cancellation in the quote request, so this is available
for future reference.

Tnx, Niek.
