• [nndnh] Same potion not accepted any more?

    My pet got me a potion from a shop. I tried to price-identify it.
    I dropped (and picked up) the potion three times in a row...

    B - a purple-red potion {20}.
    Konosja offers 75 gold pieces for your purple-red potion. Sell it?
    [ynaq] (y)
    B - a stolen purple-red potion {20}.
    You drop a purple-red potion {20}. "That item is stolen." Konosja
    seems uninterested.

    Konosja seems uninterested.

    I wonder about many things here...
    1. Why isn't it identified as stolen the first time?
    1a. Why isn't it attributed as stolen?
    1b. Why do I get a price offer?
    2. Why is it rejected the second time?
    2a. Why isn't it noted as stolen when dropped?
    3. Why is it then noted as stolen?
