| Hello, this is my first time posting to the inventories forum. I recently purchased
a used, incomplete copy of 7317 online (not Bricklink). This set is known for
having a revision where 4 of the instances of part 30585a were replaced with
part 30585b, with the longer connection point for the pneumatic tubes. The revision
also replaces a 2x4 brick with 2 2x2 inverted slopes.
The copy I purchased reflected this revision-- however, all 13 of
the tube joiners were the longer 30585b variant. As this "parts lot"
additionally included a complete 7314 the seller wasn't aware of, with the
rubber bands still in their original bag, as well as the instructions and box
for 7317, I'm inclined to believe this is a genuine variant from an extremely
casual, not very knowledgeable fan and clearly not someone who went to Bricklink
just to buy 9 more of the 30585b variant to swap in to the set for some reason.
I was wondering if anyone else had noticed the same with their copy, though I
understand given this was a used copy it may not meet Bricklink's requirements
to be cataloged as a third version of the set.

| Hello, I'm a fairly new seller and I've never posted to the forum before.
I've had to cancel two orders before for buyers not paying after several
weeks. Recently I had a buyer who made an order and then afterwards sent a message
asking for a shipping quote (they did not use the request a quote feature). I
was happy to return a message with the shipping price which was only a few dollars
so I figured it wouldn't be an issue and once they gave the okay I'd
send the invoice.
The buyer read the message almost immediately, but no response for several days,
until today when they sent a request to cancel the order with the reason of "mutual
agreement". I sent a follow-up message asking for clarification which was
again almost immediately read but no reply.
I will probably end up agreeing to the cancellation, it isn't a big deal
as it was a relatively small order to begin with, but it's definitely a frustrating
and somewhat confusing situation and I was wondering if any more experienced
sellers had any advice or similar scenarios they'd encountered.
Thanks!
