When I see 9.3/10, or 7/10, without a defined grade list, they are (essentially)
meaningless (or something the seller made up out of thin air).

They are meaningless.
|
But how meaningless are they? 9.3/10 meaningless? 7/10 meaningless?

| While scrolling thru various listings (by other sellers), I noticed one that
said "You can see photos of the set in the extended description". Clicking
thru to the listing, then the extended description, showed me an external link
(without actually displaying the photos). I was surprised that external links
are allowed in the extended description.
My concern is that there is nothing vetting that the external link is actually
going to display an image, and my concern is heightened by this CVE:
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-38171x
While it has been addressed, not everyone may have applied the patches, and it
did expose a (very cunning) zero-day exploit that affected lots of platforms.

Do I understand correctly that the hair, round plate, and light saber were missing
from the minifig? If that's the case then I could see why it was removed
- 3-4 pieces out of a total of 7-8 were missing.
|
The main part is only one piece, so three of the four pieces of the figure were
missing. Once we have a chance to get the inventories for these figures into
the catalog, there will be no confusion over them.
|
Wel, the figures are only 19 years old.
|
Prior administrators would not let them be inventoried. The current team decided
to allow them to be inventoried later last year. All we are waiting for are good
images of the figures without all of the pieces that can come off easily. If
you would like to help with that, please do so.
|
I got 1 or 2 of them (I think obi wan (and maybe Anakin?)). If you need anything
specific please let me know
|
Read above. 
"All we are waiting for are good images of the figures without all of the
pieces that can come off easily."
|
I did but wasn’t sure what it meant  should I print them off and send them
to bricklink in the USA or make entires for the parts or something else
|
I'm still planning to get to this project and have a new Darth Vader here
to get it started, but I better won't make any promises anymore when that
will happen (likely not this or next month as we expect around 100 new sets in
June which must be inventoried).
If you want to prepare any images right now, please send them to catalog@bricklink.com.
|
I have Mace Windu. I don't recall if everything comes glued on these. If
so, I might not be willing to take him apart, but I am at least interested in
helping with this project.

Sounds good, or would it perhaps make it easier if I made new entries with placeholder
numbers so they could be tracked easier
|
No placeholder numbers please. 
I'll let you know when we are ready to add inventories for the light-up figures,
then you are welcome to submit the missing parts.

Hello, welcome to bricklink!
FYI, NEW and USED do not necessarily relate to condition, but only to the history
of the item. Please familiarize yourself with this site's definition of NEW
and USED. Basically if your item has been displayed and/or handled for any purpose
other than "inventorying purposes only" it should be considered USED.
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102&q=new+condition
Also many of your used items states "like new" or something similar.
This phrase should not be used on this site and your items can be reported for
using it.

Seller suggests via paypal directly - not thru bricklink.

That’s against the TOS.
I don’t know about the rules in your state but if there’s Sales taxes on shipping,
by law, BL has to collect it, and BL can only do that if the payment is “onsite”
(done with the Pay button on the site, not by going on PayPal by yourself).
Otherwise, it’s tax fraud

Yep, better.

Time to sell all that music stuff and buy more LEGO!!
What’s that long thingy holding up the house?
And that yellow spray bottle —what’s in that?
Looks like you have fly fishing accessories hanging up in plastic —kind of fuzzy
picture
The carpet—is that a bathroom soft velvety rug type!!
And that long thing on the far right —treadmill is some sort ?
