I strongly disagree with this change. You are chipping away at what makes BrickLink the premier site it has been for Lego Collector's worldwide. I'm so sorry Daniel . My store always abides by all mold variations in my listings. This is one of my strengths as a seller, and has taken a significant investment in time over the years. I can't help but resent that at a click of a button you will erase my efforts and investment in OOP part mold variations just to make your job easier, when there are other solutions that would just take a few more lines of code. You appear to be putting the burden on the sellers/buyers to make sure the buyer gets the right part for their needs messaging back and forth. The bigger problem for the community at large is buying original parts for used OOP kits, or when purchasing a used kit making sure all the parts are 100% authentic. I would imagine there are buyers who shop for used kits exclusively on BrickLink to insure the inventory of these sets match BrickLink's accurate original inventory. The work around for this issue appears to make things harder not easier. Like most things humans do to make things better when no action is required it makes things worse. Sometimes doing nothing is the best solution. Maybe this is one of those times. Thank you for your consideration, but I have been around long enough to know this train has left the station.

[...] I agree with you, I do the same thing for my store too. Sellers should be obligated to make sure that the variant that they are selling is the right one. (URL) (4 months ago, Jan 24, 2024, to Catalog)
