| Hi everyone!
I have a black "Hose, Rigid 3mm D." that is 259mm long.
The next matching sizes would be a "32L" (256mm) or a "33L" (264mm).
Both are available in black. How do you list such things? As 32L (saying that
it's 3mm too long) or as 33L (saying that it's 5mm too short). As 33L
is more expensive (about 2-3 times for the "Used" variant) than the 32L (in black),
I don't want to upset any possible buyers).
But the thing is: I'm almost 100% sure that it's 33L, because I have
a Lego box with many parts of set 7418 (the only set where the black 33L appears),
but I don't see any of the sets where the 32L in black appears.

Thanks!

| hi,
my suggestion is list it as '' 3mm too long''
a buyer can cut it shorter if he/she wants.
with listing it ''3 mm too short'' is text that can be overlooked
and can lead to dissapointment

| I just checked the 2 brand new 75c28 in Reddish Brown that I have.
They are spare parts from my own Ewok Village, so I know that they are those
parts for sure.
Here as well, they are only 220mm/221mm (instead of the 224mm (28L) they should
be).
This seems to be completely normal, hm.
I also tend to keep them listed as 28L (but adding a comment) instead of listing
them as 28L in Reddish Brown (which isn't even available as "Known Colors").
Opinions on this case?

Hoses are known to run a little short at times, If a touch under I list as the
closest size and never have had a complaint, Since yours is closer to the 32L
I would go with that, Add a note it's a little longer and you can adjust
the price towards the 33L.
