Incomplete listings that have sold can be excluded from the results. There's
a checkbox at the top of the price guide data.

  I've noticed an issue with the price guide. Often times, the price guide
is inaccurate with sets because it doesn't differentiate between complete
and incomplete items sold. Often times sets without figures or just a small piece
of a set is sold that throws the values off.

I think that it would be a good idea to mark sets that are sold as incomplete
on the price guide and for these sales not to reflect the 6 month averages.

Oh I never realized that. I'll cancel the post. Thank you.

You may exclude incomplete sets in the price guide. However there seem to be
sellers who continue to list incomplete sets as complete, and just add to the
description what is missing.

Check for example this set (Lot #121748782) which is listed as complete:
