Choose: a) yes b) no c) not sure yet Keep in mind that it won't be visible anymore in the old set inventories which variant has been used. No. I think such comments might confuse and possibly put off some buyers. The a, b, c type variants only really exist because they were catalogued here. If they are no longer catalogued here then adding a comment that you will get a 'b' variant will be lost on many buyers and may leave them wondering what they will get. It really depends on which images are retained to show the part once merged. Where vintage parts come from known sets, I think I will comment as i do now on the date range or the set they came from, if those parts attract a premium price. Those are good arguments against doing it.
