I just had someone buy all of a particular part in my store. (It was 1000+ quantity.)
I still had hundreds that I had not put in my store yet. I thought that he
might want to buy more if I had them, so I asked, and he said yes.
I counted them out and added them to my store reserved for that member. I don't
add lots reserved for someone very often, but if memory serves me correctly,
reserving a lot for a member does 2 things:
1. It, of course, reserves the lot for just that one member so that no one else
can buy it. (I think it makes it so that other members can't even see the
lot when shopping my store. Is that right?)
2. It sends that member an email notification that the lot was added and reserved
for them.
After I added the reserved lot, on the My Bricklink page, the link that says
"1 Lot in my store inventory not yet notified" showed up. In theory
sending out a notification should only email the member who I reserved the lot
for, but also in theory he already received a notification when I added the lot
to my store.
Is the ability to send out a notification for a reserved lot sort of a function
that's effectively doubled in the system?

Reserving the lot doesn't send out an email on its own. I think your buyer
would only have received one email.

It's probably been years since I reserved a lot for someone, and it was probably
for someone in my LUG, so we would've communicated on our own without the
need for any notifications to be sent, hence my ignorance on the subject. Thanks
for the info!

The send notifications page only works if the user has it in a WL and notifications
enabled for that item. Else it will return it was sent to 0 users.
As far as I know you don't get any email or message, what you get is a icon
on My BL page that links to the items in the store reserved. You can check how
it is displayed by reserving a lot for your username.
