You know, if they blew out the current run at 75% off, I'd gladly buy 20 or more.
Then I could sort out the various purples, and build several buses, each a slightly
different shade.
But it would have to be 75% off to get me interested, as I couldn't resell any of
the purple at all - how the HECK would you list the parts? "Purple from Knight Bus,
lighter shade". Yeah, right.

I think some enterprising enterpreneur will prove you wrong about that. It might
take some discounting rather than full retail before it happens but I don't
expect it to need to go to 75% off.

Well, sure, others may not need such a discount for major purchases.
But {for me}, it's got to be 75% off before I buy my "normal" amount.
Lar - get some sleep, or read more carefully. You are glossing over posts and missing key
points (nowhere did I say it would have to be 75% off for {everyone} to get interested).
Yet I don't think you'll prove me wrong about listing the purple on BL - unless someone
matches each shade to a Pantone sheet, then lends the Pantone reference sheet to ANY buyer
before buying, there isn't going to be a way to note what color of purple you are {truly}
buying when it comes to the first batch of 4755s (assuming they actually do fix it on
later batches).

There's not more than 3 or 4 shades. Someone will figure out how to do this and
make money at it. Personally I sort of don't care what color I get as long as I
get teh same color for everything I buy. So buy 10 buses, put it into unsorted
lots sorted by color and away you go.
I'm not glossing over your points, nor am I missing them. You just think I am.
