| "Sounds like a lot of work? You are probably losing money too. The average
sold price is lower than it should be because so many incomplete sets are being
sold as complete. If sellers saw the real average price they would set their
prices higher and Bricklink would benefit from the higher commission.""
Same for boxes of minifigs where SETS instead of boxes are listed, causing an
average price for the boxes far too low.

For many years, this set was my sole source of technic parts.

You can find that information on this page:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562
The standard is that the most commonly-appearing part is the regular and the
less-common part is the alternate. I believe this standard was enacted to make
errors less likely when parting out sets.
However, I'm rather dissatisfied with that standard because it's somewhat
difficult to know which version of a part appeared more frequently, especially
for older sets. I'd prefer to see the variation which appeared first listed
as regular and any later variations listed as an alternates.

I don't really keep track of that. You can find the information here, though:

It looks like the most recent day with no inventory requests approved was February
7th.

| | I notice however an inconsistency in your last paragraph: if there is never
a 100% reliable way to know which extras come in which set, and it is
an exercise in probability anyway, then it becomes a matter of faith to consider
any extra part. Which ones do you choose to validate/discard, then?
|
I'm not sure I would consider it an inconsistency. It's more of a general
misunderstanding of the purpose of the Extra Items section of an inventory.
This section exists to make it easier to deal with potentially-appearing
extras when parting out sets.
When extras are added to inventories only after being verified as appearing in
brand new sets, then I think the extras section is reliable enough to fulfill
its purpose. What I'd like to avoid are extras submitted because 49 sets
contained the extra so it is assumed the 50th must, too. I gathered this was
the approach you might be taking with the red 3070b, which is why I questioned
you on the white lever.
As for which extras are approved or not approved, I admit that there are few
ways to verify the veracity of these types of requests. I look at the totality
of the circumstances and make a decision.
| | For example, I submit to you that not a single set from my childhood, no matter
how small, came with a solitary lever in it
|
This is a good observation, but a small sample size and likely only representative
of a single area of production. Nevertheless, I agree that some extras are nearly
guaranteed to appear in a set no matter when or where it was purchased. And
you finding extra levers in all of those new sets means that every set in which
you found an extra lever should have the extra listed as such in the inventory.
| | I do not add what I am not sure of.
|
Thank you for that.
Your request has been approved.

This set is from 1983 so the early version hinges were used.
Otherwise, this blogger did our job easier. He opened a sealed set and took photos
If you use translater, he states that the bags were sealed (except some bigger
parts that did not come in a bag)
https://steinwurf.wordpress.com/2014/07/19/bahnhof-7824/
The relevent photos are (photos 1-3 attached):
https://steinwurf.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/7824-01.jpg
https://steinwurf.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/7824-04.jpg
We can see all red hinges and half of black hinges in the photo.
Note that this is not the earliest release of this set, even if the clips 4081a
are the earlier version. The earliest release of this set had a different kind
of box (4th photo attached):
