I listed sand blue 2x2 macaroni tile and it was deleted. It is from one of the
newer space sets.

  It is not from PAB. That was just an example to show that there are also legit
ways to get unreleased lego parts.

  The part has been retired for 30 years. This is 99.9% sure just a test part that
escaped the factory.


"Escaping the factory" is not the same as legitimate routes such as from
a PAB wall.

It is old. It might have happened a long time ago. But if LEGO wants to stop
illegitimate pieces from being produced and stolen now, they have to put a stop
to all pieces like that. Otherwise, in 30 years time, those new illegitimate
Vader helmets all become fair game to list as they are old and it happened a
long time ago.

If it is from a new released set that just hasn't been inventoried yet, then
that is really silly. You'd think they would have more things to do than
delete parts like that from sale.
