  We had season passes the first two years of LegoLand, CA's opening, my son,
daughter and I. Mostly as a place to hang out when bored, sometimes just somewhere
to eat our lunch outdoors. It was a very nice environment for the kids and I
in the earlier years of its opening. Very relaxed wonderful space for them especially.
Good memories

So almost inevitably, we became friends with some that worked there. In particular
was a woman that ran the injection molding display at the park, my kids speaking
Swedish and her being from and missing her family in Sweden, it just happened.
Anyway, we ended up with a lot of souvenirs she liked to give them, samples from
what the displayed LEGO injection molding machine processed throughout the day.
This was before our involvement with BL and the selling of LEGO, or really even
as enthusiastic fans of LEGO, and so they were just fun items for my son and
daughter to take home.

Cutting back towards the point: These items were produced on an official LEGO
injection molding machine by a LEGO affiliated employee. Would these unique items
hypothetically then be allowed into the BL catalog? I say hypothetically, as
we no longer have the parts. Tossed them long ago, actually

Now to the point: What does actually qualify as "officially" LEGO
and therefore allowed to be sold here?
Maybe more definitive guidelines would
be useful to all of within the secondary marketplace?

Just some (anecdotal backed) pondering

People need to stop picking at a scab and making themselves bleed.

Where do you want to draw the line?

LEGO could require you to submit invoices and receipts for every item you sell.

While this would no doubt cut down on the small percent of the community who
buy fenced goods, thieves, and factory fiends, it would be a nuisance for sellers
overall, especially for people who have older pieces and sets.

LEGO has a general hands-off policy regarding the secondary market, and it is
best it be kept that way.

Reread the post, let's see if you can get at least a basic understanding
of it's intent My only point is what's allowed into the BL catalog
and how that's determined be better spelled out.

And to be sold here. Not only as a custom lot, but as officially recognized LEGO
for the secondary market. Which is another aspect of what the catalog offers
the marketplace

  
That said, I do agree with the sentiment of what you're expressing too.
