| I've been trying to find a part on PAB for a few hours now (not going to
get in to why things are called one thing here and another there) and I think
I finally found it - but they have it listed as Dark Stone Grey; is that the
same?

| | Hi!
I didn't get a response from the help desk, so I'm asking here.
I noticed that I can part together some official sets using 100% new parts. Am
I allowed to list those sets as "new incomplete" if I mention in the
comments that I parted together the set myself using new parts and am missing
box/instructions/stickers? Or are you only allowed to list a set as "new
incomplete" if you only took items out of a NISB set?
If you are not allowed to list it as "new incomplete", could you list
it as "used incomplete" and say in the comments that you parted it together
using new parts and am missing box/instructions/stickers?
Given that:
"Custom sets or instructions may be listed, provided they do not infringe
on any intellectual property rights, including those of the LEGO Group."
I do not believe I could list it as a custom set instead?
Thanks for information and if possible would like clarification from an admin.

A good question. Real quickly...
Until you receive a definitive answer from on high; combine the guidelines of
the two sub-conditions below, taken together and in the absences of further TOS
enunciation on the topic, you get a bit closer
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102
"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, but may have been removed from plastic bags
for inventory purposes or to remove other contents from the set. The set is missing
some of the contents, instructions or original box/packaging. The description
should clearly state what exactly is missing."
I'm gonna dig around some more though, see if there are more defined guidelines

Yes, please let me know if you find anything!
I’m not too concerned wether or not I can list it as new (incomplete). I’m
more than willing to list something like that as used (incomplete), and write
in the comments that it was parted together using new parts and is missing stickers
etc.
I’m more concerned wether I can list that under the set at all and not get in
trouble. I think it’s fine if you do that for used sets, but that isn’t explicitly
stated in the guidelines either. People seem to complete used sets and list them
all the time. I don’t see how parting together the whole thing would be any different.
Still, I would rather be safe than sorry and get some direct guidelines for this
type of thing before I go listing stuff.

Not sure if you will get an answer from the team, but you "can't put
the genie back in the bottle". I don't think you are the first with
this idea, but I think anything along these lines is not going to be viewed as
new. Since most set pieces come in sealed bags, I think that is what allows
them to be considered NEW.

I don't believe you are, although it might be dependent on the set. When
it first came out, someone was trying to sell
in a similar way, missing the only unique part (the decorated tile). They were
continually removed even though apparently listed correctly.
