Items with a zero quantity still show up on the inventory; is that perhaps a

I thought that not removing each item when quantity gets down to zero is more
to the seller's benefit.  If I part out a new batch of sets and they contain
some of the pieces that I already have in my inventory, I can just adjust the
quantity instead of having to go through the part selection process, selecting
price and the picture URL.  But yes, when displaying items to the buyer, they
should not be there when quantity is 0.  What would make you feel more
comfortable?

In the store:

A) Always display items with 0 quantity
B) Never display items with 0 quantity
C) Display items with 0 quantity with a big red SOLD instead of the shopping
cart text box for a certain amount of time like a day or so

Ideally, of course, this would be configurable, but my preference would be for
C) and B) thereafter.  In other words, display the item as SOLD for a day or
so, and then have it disappear.

In your inventory:

A) Keep items with 0 quantity
B) Automatically delete items with 0 quantity
C) Have the option to pick from either A or B

Again, ideally the choice is C).  Failing that, I'd be inclined to go with A)
so long as I have the option of deleting things individually.

YMMV.
