There are different rules for listing new and used sets as complete or incomplete. New Sets Complete - Contents are brand new and may have been removed from their plastic bags and handled for inventorying purposes only. Includes all contents that originally came with set including extra parts, stickers, instructions (if any) and original box/packaging. Incomplete - Contents are brand new and may have been removed from their plastic bags and handled for inventorying purposes or during the removal of items from the set. Set is missing some contents, instructions or original box/packaging. Description should state what exactly is missing. Used Sets - The set has been opened, inner bags are no longer intact and or was previously built. If the parts do show excessive wear, discoloration, excessive scratches, other marks,etc. this should be noted, as well. Complete - Set contains all parts necessary to build all of the models (including alternate models) in the instructions but does not have to contain the original box/packaging and/or extra parts. If the set is missing instructions, the description must state so. If the set did not come with instructions then the set should include all parts listed in the picture inventory which is located on the box or bucket. The set must include all original stickers used on the model either still on the sticker sheet or applied. Incomplete - Set is missing some contents. Description should state what exactly is missing. Full rules here: http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102 And as someone pointed out, you can easily exclude incomplete sets from the Price Guide with one click, and you can even set it that way by default: http://www.bricklink.com/priceGuideSettings.asp So nothing to fix here, other than sets that are listed incorrectly. Now if you want to change a rule, let's talk about incomplete minifigures....

How much can one take from a set before it doesn't qualify as a set anymore. After all those years of Bricklink, why aren't there easy rules for this? I understand when a box is missing, it is incomplete, or when a few parts are gone...it is incomplete.... But listing a set without the box, instructions, minifigs and weapons doesn't leave more than a handfull of bricks....NOT a set! for example: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&itemID=99724&advOpt=Y&sz=100&searchSort=P when you click on only new sets.... personally I think the first 11 do NOT qualify as a set! And I understand when you are a newbee...perhaps you did not know the definition of a set, but this is getting out of hand! just my 2 cent incomplet set (it used to be a dollar set, but I took 98 cents for own use) be cool and have fun!
