I have this set of hips from Patrick, without the legs:

 
Part No: 970c90pb02  Name: Hips and Light Nougat Legs with Purple Flowers on Lime Shorts Pattern (SpongeBob SquarePants Patrick)
* 
970c90pb02 Hips and Light Nougat Legs with Purple Flowers on Lime Shorts Pattern (SpongeBob SquarePants Patrick)
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated

But it shows no inventory for that assembly to split up the legs from the hips.

As far as I can see in the catalog, only solid color hips and legs are sold separately.
Am I missing something? Can the decorated hips and legs be sold separately?

Thanks,

Lisa

No.

Drats! So I guess I would have to list these hips (and any other decorated legs
or hips I find) as a custom item?

You could list it as the complete assembly, mark it used, and say in the comments
that the legs are missing.

The problem with that is messing up the price guide. Like listing a torso assembly
and head as a minifigure, saying it is missing the legs, helmet and cape.

Jere below is a copy and paste of my ideas from another related post.
I also had done a request years ago regarding Biba Fett’s legs but they were
not accepted.
I still believe a catalog cannot be complete if such important parts are not
seen as useable and saleable.

Copy from me from another recent post.
I believe I read in this large forumpost and another one that decorated legs
and hips will not be in the catalog.

I think this is a shame and a shortcoming in the catalog.

A lot of us buy second hand minifigures etc.
All parts can be broken, scratched, have hairline cracks and legs are quite often
nibbled on and have bitemarks.

I think it would be silly to buy the whole assembly while for a fraction of the
price you might want to buy a left or right leg or a hip.

Not only would it be cheaper but this is also a chance to NOT throw away parts
that cannot be sold in a standard way, a way that a buyer can find.
If they are for sale a seller must use unfindable methods and they will probably
remain it store for decades.
A wast of time, effort, money and plastic.
