| Hello all. This may be my first post here.
In the listing information of a set, there are two sections at the bottom that
I don’t understand. What are “alternate parts” and “counter parts?”
Thanks,
- Rob

| counterparts are for things like stickered parts or part assemblies like a
turntable where the base an top are connected. alternate items is for when 1
part is found in 2 different versions or moulds in a set it gets added to alternates
or if a set is redesigned during production but stays as the same set then then
new parts get added there

See https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562
Alternate is for instance when some copies of the set contain a brick with solid
studs and other copies of the same set have been found with this brick with open
studs.
Counter parts is for instance a wheel and a tire listed each separate in a set,
with the combination of both in the counterpart section. Similarly for unstickered
parts + sticker sheets in the main section, and the stickered parts in the counter
parts section.
