of the policy. Nothing has changed in that regard.
As a ball-park figure, if a listing has less than 80% of the complete set contents,
it shouldn't be listed as incomplete. Another rule of thumb - everything
essential to the character of the set must be present, so for example, the signature
printed tile in Architecture sets must be included to list the set as INcomplete.
The newsletter was highlighting the most common problem with incomplete listings,
of which most are in USED condition. New items have different rules. Sets missing
instructions or boxes do not need to be listed as incomplete if these deficiencies
are mentioned in the notes - for USED items. Items listed as NEW must contain
the original packaging and instructions.

What is meant by this statement from the newsletter? 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.
|
USED: If instructions or box are missing, it is still considered COMPLETE if
these deficiencies are mentioned in the notes. However, for more serious
deficiencies, the listing must be marked as INCOMPLETE, and for very serious
deficiencies, it must be listed as a custom item.
NEW: If instructions or box are missing, it is INCOMPLETE at best. It may not
even be able to be listed as INCOMPLETE if the essence of the set is missing
(all the minifigures in an IP set) or if only a small portion of the whole is
present (i.e. a single minifigure or a part).
