I've never come across this, but I have almost done so, and wonder if anyone knows the results:
Let's say I have 750 tons of goods in my Home Warehouse (800 is max). I get a Diplo offer for 300 tons of Tea, at a good price, and so I accept.
What happens? Do I only receive 50 tons, and the rest is sold at Trading Post? Are my existing goods auto-sold? Do I just loose stuff? Does the world come to an end?
Which brings in another gripe - to do any sort of Warehouse management (which sounds very dull, but is actually fun in the context of the game), 800 tons is not nearly enough. A recent strategy I am trying is that anytime I have excess cash, I buy high profit items (Sugar, Tobacco, Silver/Steel ware, Silver) from my home Trading Port and store them in my Warehouse. When a ship comes in to unload, I'll buy any high profit goods currently available, and then fill the rest of my ships with the Warehouse items. This helps a lot for maximizing profits, and also can get me out of some jams because I can get a good profit for already purchased items without dipping into my funds reserved for stocking up in India. However, the 800 ton limit to the Home Warehouse pretty much kills this strategy, or at least severely limits it.
