Listing incomplete sets

Let's talk about incomplete listings! Our Item Condition policy only allows
certain parts of a set to be missing, such as instructions or original packaging,
to qualify it as Incomplete.

When you list sets that are missing minifigures or just the minifigures from
a set, they should not be listed as an incomplete set. They are qualified as
'Custom items'. The process for listing them is the same, except that
you should check the 'Custom item' check box, as shown below.

Listing items as 'Custom' not only helps buyers in their search for specific
items, but it also helps keep our price guide more precise for sellers.



Umm... okay. So... they are going to go through BL and remove every set that
is missing minifigs and accessories? Do they have ANY idea how many that is?
Do they have any idea that this is a very common practice on BrickLink for as
long as any of us have known it?

Can anyone on the Marketplace Panel weigh in on this please?
