  I have to retool Loft Inventory; Reader Larry is right (see comments from last week's report) that my consistent "500" represents the upper limit of the search on the data system we use (d'oh). When I originally checked his source (Street Easy) -- months ago -- I found definitional problems that dissuaded me from using that source for inventory; I need to check back.
