In Inventories, EDOM writes:      *  4502 (Inv) Minifigure, Plume / Feather Wheel, 3 on Sprue Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory {Yellow} Certain sets only use one or two of the plume feathers from that wheel. But even if only one is used, the other two are also listed on the regular items. On this page https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562#regularItems in the section "Additional Information About Regular Items" it says: Parts on Sprues - Complete sprues are included in this section unless some parts from the sprues are used in minifigures. In that case, the parts from the sprues that are not used in minifigures are included in this section. Now my question is: Why? Example given: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6274-1   *  4502a Minifigure, Plume Feather Small Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory {Yellow} and   *  4502c Minifigure, Plume Feather Large Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory {Yellow} are not used anywhere on the Caribbean Clipper. There is no official parts list of this set. But still both pieces are listed as Regular Items on BrickLink. In this particular case the price for the complete set is increased by approximately $10 just because these two unused parts are listed as regular parts. I suggest to change the Brickink definition of regular items and move those parts from Regular Items to Extra Items. Who is with me? It was changed some years ago now, as they came with new sets and these are not strictly extras, they are unused. When you sell a used set you do not need to include them (only the parts necessary to build the set). But it is a good idea to indicate that they are not included if you sell a used set.

[...] How would a buyer know that these parts do not belong to a complete used set? If I was a buyer, I would check the received parts of a used set that I bought on BrickLink [...] (3 months ago, Feb 28, 2024, to Inventories)
