If you substitute anything, the set must be listed as incomplete per the

  Hello BL admins, I am taking inventory of my used sets. I plan on selling them
on BL in the near future. If a set inventory lists 3002old, can I replace it
with 3002 instead? There are other parts that fall into this kind of situation
as well, such as 2412a and 2412b. I am sure I will find more as time goes on.
If I were purchasing a set, I would not care about such small differences, but
I am not sure what your policy is regarding this. Apologies if this has been
covered before. Thanks.

Not sure why noone is answering here (and probably nobody will read this after
all this time, but anyway): Personally, when I buy vintage sets, I want them
to be correct, so I'd definitely want the old parts in them. There are probably
people who don't care, so you can still sell them (I think, don't know
all the rules by heart...); I'd note it in the comments though that there
are new replacement parts included.

Thank you for your input. Usually I get a response very quickly but maybe they
think they've already answered this question elsewhere. Personally, I would
not care if the part is slightly different on a used set, but I can understand
that others might. On a new set, I think the expectations are much higher, and
everything should be 100% original.

[...] I changed my mind. I need to go back and make sure I have the exact specific part for each set. Replacing a part with a listed alternate is ok I think. But if it's [...]

[...] I just looked at two of my sets, 6878 and 6832, both from 1991. 2412a and 2412b were both in production that year. I have good eyesight, and I absolutely could not tell [...]
