The newsletter does not mention a change either in the policy or the enforcement
of the policy. Nothing has changed in that regard.
That's a relief!
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.
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.
