  I'm on board with the policy. There have been a lot of times I'm trying
to research the price of a new or used set and might see "incomplete"
sets listed for ~$100 less that are missing the minifigures. Then I see in the
sales history a few that were also sold for ~$100 less than all the others which
pulls the average price down, but we don't know if it was complete or incomplete.


When searching current sets, why not turn off incomplete sets. Then you won't
see incomplete sets.

Similarly for sold prices, just excluded incomplete sets from the price guide.
Then you know you are looking at complete sets. The price guide for sold incomplete
sets is useless as you don't know what you are comparing. It might be missing
one sticker, it might be only 50% complete.

  A work around would be to just make the sold item viewable so we could see if
it was priced so low because it was incomplete or if it was a crushed box.
