| Hi,
as a buyer, I found having only two choices for parts condition is far too basic
and not useful, mostly for buyers, but also for sellers who seek accuracy and
honesty regarding their inventory.
I mean, for now a seller can only pick new or used, but pretty much everyone
has his/her own standard and I got some used parts which are like new, some others
which are closer to the one way ticket to trash, if you see what I mean  .
It's not good nor practical to force seller to put actual picture(s) of all
the used parts, both hobbyist and professional has better use of their time I
guess.
Plus, asking for every single part before ordering is not good either, some sellers
didn't took time to reply to potential buyer's question already.
And when seller put description, it's quite subjective, one adjective is
far to describe actual shape of a part: "bite marks, yellowish", ok but how many
marks, how deep ?
how much "yellowished" is the brick ?
Some may claims "quite good", some other "I can't send them to trash".
A quality score could be added to a used part. It would be used as well to set
the sell price, as trash-ready used parts can lower the infamous "average 6 months"
and lower ALL prices, which is very unfair for like new parts.
Any thoughts ?

Hello,
I know as a fact that the thick clips was produced since 1985. I have evidence
that thin light gray clips came with 7745-1 in its early production, but in later
production runs, since mid 1985 or even earlier, thick light grays clips were
used?
Do we have any evidence that thin clips appeared with early releases 6677-1?
Answer: it seems to me "No".
In the photos, you can also see a NIB 6677-1 with sealed bags coming with yellow
thick clips. We can also recognize the mini catalog from 1986:
This is why I suggest to remove the yellow thin clips from this set. If later,
somebody finds any evidence that they came with this set, they can be added again,
but I dont' think they did come with this set.
