Or
I bought a repair part and the ad for the alternate shows up the next day.
Are they dumb? Consumable items still take time to consume... at least WAIT that time to remind .

OTOH Non-consumables (purchased or wish listed) should disable ads for the same item and lean to how it might share usage type with other items. I buy a 7" saw blade implies I HAVE a 7" saw (motor), Show other accessories, not a Saw. (They do a bit of this on the Item page: Users also bought...)
