I would like to see implemented that Sellers who have a particular part listed
in their store, get a message when an alternate part turns up.

Recent Examples:
 
Part No: 14769pb011 Name: Tile, Round 2 x 2 with Bottom Stud Holder with Pizza Pattern
* 		14769pb011 Tile, Round 2 x 2 with Bottom Stud Holder with Pizza Pattern
Parts: Tile, Round, Decorated
 
Part No: 61254b Name: Tire 24mm D. x 7mm Matching Tread - Band Around Center of Tread
* 		61254b Tire 24mm D. x 7mm Matching Tread - Band Around Center of Tread
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread

Sellers may have listed them wrong, because the didn't notice the difference
while parting out. I, for instance, still don't see the difference in those
tires.

I guess all sellers check new items every day?!

The difference between those tires is the tread on either side of the middle
band.

In one they are matched across the band - the open spaces on one side match up
with the open spaces on the other.
In the other, they are mismatches - the open spaces do not line up across the
middle band.


Though, I agree, I think sellers should get a notification.
