|
| I'm looking through the active listings for used Star Wars sets to price
some items I am adding to my inventory. Every single one I found someone listing
the set as "complete" but in the comments describing the pieces or minifigs that
are missing.
The price guide is really valuable here, as is creating a quality shopping experience
for customers (many of which are brand new to Bricklink).
Sometimes I will send a note to the store owner and ask them to correct, although
it is a lot of work to do it every time and I certainly am not going to follow
up.
I would suggest that BL scan through the comments on used set listings and look
for ones listed as complete with the word "missing" in the comments. Then send
an robo-email to the store owner and bring it to their attention.
... also I think check boxes when adding sets to inventory for "instructions"
"box" "stickers" "minifigures" would be useful but that would take actual programming
and I doubt there are resources for that.

| I thought when you listed a set there was a check box to say complete or incomplete.
I don't list sets but have seen it in the past, that way I'm sure you
can filter out all but complete.

Yikes, I actually had one of those listings. Apologies for that, also thanks
for pointing it out! All fixed.

| I think some sellers mistakenly list them as complete but I think most others
list them as complete even though they are incomplete to avoid them from being
filtered out by buyers that have incomplete sets filtered out of their viewed
listings - I will not buy at all from these stores, I view them as already being
a bit shady.

It would also be good to have a three strikes and you are on probation, like
with NPB. So you get two warnings, then if you do it again, then the store gets
closed down for a month while you learn about what incomplete means.
