When it comes to NEW incomplete sets it is much easier for Bricklink to be more
specific about exactly what must be included since the seller has ALL parts to
hand at the point of splitting the set
Personally I think the minifigures and their associated weapons/accessories should
be the only valid items to split from a sealed set along with any other animal,
creature, robot that has its own catalog entry. Whether the sellers chooses to
include some of these items in their incomplete set should be at sellers discretion
and can be mentioned in the notes but I don't believe any parts integral
to the
actual build should ever be split and listed as incomplete and I would go as
far as saying that there should never be a valid reason to have an Architecture
set for example listed as new incomplete

It might have exceeded the dimensions, but we'd need more information. What
set was it and what is your largest shipping option you have and do you have
it set for Max Dimensions or Total Dimensions? I personally prefer the "max
dimension" option a I reuse the boxes from LEGO which come in a variety of
standard sizes.
If you measure the exterior of these boxes, back out .5 inches (1cm?) so that
you have the interior dimensionsfor the product to fit inside.

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.
OK, so it seems if you remove the minifigures from a set, or sell part of a set,
that set can no longer be listed as incomplete but has to be listed as a custom
lot. What is an incomplete set. It says this policy change (?) is to keep the
price guide precise for sellers, but what are you comparing when looking at incomplete
sets?
If a set has 10 minifigures, and is missing 1, is it an incomplete set? What
about 5, or 9. According to the official statement missing all 10 is not an incomplete
set but a custom lot. So where is tge critical point?
Same with parts, how much can be missing and still be an incomplete set? And
if someone else has sold an incomplete set, how do I know how complete/incomplete
it was?
This seems to be a huge policy change, especially the part that an incomplete
set can only be missing the box and instructions. That was previously allowed
under the definition of a used but complete set, and my understanding was that
a used set could be complete if it was missing just the box and/or instructions,
but a seller should add comments to say these were missing.

I had a NEW set sealed in original polybags with instructions, just missing the
original box, and it got pulled. And yet USED complete can be listed without
the box.
I don't know why a set can't be listed as complete if it is only missing
the box or even the instructions.
The box is not necessary to the set, and the instructions can be downloaded directly
from LEGO.
How exactly does NEW complete differ from NEW sealed? The tape is broken?
This becomes a problem when seller wants to sell sets without boxes for more
efficient shipping.

The newsletter does not mention a change either in the policy or the enforcement
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.
It is wrong for new sets and wrong for used sets.
Obviously we don't know who wrote that statement, or if anyone proof read
it before sending it out in a newsletter, but at best it is very misleading and
at worst just plain wrong.

Any plans on enabling the Share Wanted List function? The "Feature Coming
Soon!" note has been there for years. If a buyer is interested in an incomplete
set it would make things easier if a seller could share a wanted list of the
missing pieces for the incomplete set. The buyer could then quickly see what's
missing and/or price it out.

I didn't understand at all the most recent one (about this subject, at least),

| At what point does it stop counting as an "incomplete" set?
For example if someone listed a as "incomplete, missing the
green roof part" is that still valid as an "incomplete" set? (even
though its missing the only part that makes the set unique)
Or if someone listed a as "incomplete, missing Boba Fett"
(but with all the other minifigs and parts), is that still valid as an "incomplete"
set?
Or if someone listed a as "incomplete, missing dark red
car and criminal minifig", is that still valid as an "incomplete"
set?

We are looking at adding used parts too if the need is there.
