6 Owls Sold?

MathBuilder

What are the Owls?
I have been watching this number grow 4, 5 ,6 in the past few days but I have no idea what it means.

Just a little Easter egg. You can find them if you look through the price history. http://brickowl.com/catalog/lego-owl-40232

I really wanted to sell the first one but instead I sold the 6th one---still cool.
Psssst--Owls on sale.

@DadsAFOL I only see that one of those sold in white. It must include other Owls as well. One white with angular features, one white printed owl, one grey printed owl. Missing a couple.

Odd. This is the one that I sold.

But it is not showing in the price guide, and I opened the price guide through the order so I know I'm not checking the wrong one.

The price history is updated daily, I will put a little timestamp on there to make that clear.

I don't think the price history is updated properly, I sold two new black owls:

on July 31st and they do not show up.

... and I bought them (out of curiosity) - just to see if it really updated - it did!
altho I do like the black owls...

Price history not updating has been fixed and I added the little timestamp.

Hm ... still something wrong? I sold 4 of these: http://brickowl.com/catalog/lego-reddish-brown-owl-small-angular-features-with-yellow-eyes-large-and-tan-chest-feathers-pattern-92648. They show up in the price guide, timestamp seems ok but still the site says 7 owls sold, whereas that should be 10?

Lawrence

The stuff at the bottom is cached for a while, we use caching a lot to keep the site speedy but it looks like we need to put more effort into wiping it when appropriate.

theHellmouth

ok, understood. Any other update which is slowed by caching would not be seen, so keep the cache, it helps a lot but for the owls ... well people really look at it. Maybe push the number of owls sold as soon an order is placed with owls in it instead of checking it afterwards?

Lawrence

That was actually an issue with me having an incomplete list of owls, I fixed that and also changed it to update more frequently.
