Hi!

I bet you that many of the doors 3188, 3189, 3192, 3193, 3194, 3195, 445 and
446 marketed on this site are in fact doors with thin handle, which means that
they are incorrectly marketed.

Isn't that a problem for a market place, and shouldn't BL solve this
problem?

The doors with thin handle should be marketed under the part id 3188a, 3189a,
3192a, 3193a, 3194a, 3195a, 445a and 446a.

So the doors with thin handle are more plentiful on the market, sellers almost
always sends me the door with thin handle when they should have sent me the door
with a vertical hole beside the handle. Some sellers, which I admire, label the
door with the description "open handle" whereas the thin handle door they label
"closed handle".

At the same time, all these doors with thin handle only turn up on the inventory
list of one, that is 1, set on BL, set 341-1!

BL could solve this by inserting the door with thin handle as an alternative
in all those sets which contain the relevant doors. Or say that the door with
thin handle is the normal part, whereas the door with open handle is an alternative.
This would stop the potential for disputes between buyers and sellers, and make
life easier here on BL.

Also I wish that BL would instruct the sellers on BL to label their doors correctly.
