FWIW I had a 4 cent part get removed/flagged very recently because I had somehow
hit new on it when listing it (it was bizzare because the rest of the part out
was marked used with comments stating "good for used" or something to that affect).
So there is either a person or an algorithim out there doing something.

| Just a thought... this might not bother you as much if you only concerned yourself
about what your own margin is on the sets you sell instead of going by the 6
mo. average... which (for sets) is never a good idea in my opinion.
I mean, perhaps the seller just parted out the minifig and forgot to change the
condition from new, sealed to new, incomplete. Does he deserve our wrath, no.
A friendly reminder by a fellow brick linker, yes.
It's easy to get self righteous about things like this... but people make
mistakes... I'm assuming this seller is a human not a robot and it is human
to err.

| | Question for other SW collectors - is it common knowledge that sealed polybags
will sometimes cost much less than the minifigure itself?
|
I've run into friends polybags that are the same way. I always try to keep
sets together for resale, but sometimes I'm shocked that its not worth it
for the tiny sets.
I also just finished a Ninjago set recently where the figure was rare-ish and
more than I wanted to pay and I found a seller who had parted a bunch of that
fig out and was able to buy him in pieces for far less than buying the assembled
fig. Its normally the reverse.

I presume you reported the listing? If so then it will get removed

What might work faster than reporting it is contacting the seller. Tell them
that you think they made an error in the listing and they should probably fix
it.
For those dishonest sellers who do this on purpose, they're not really helping
themselves. Nobody who wants a new set is actually going to buy one that isn't,
and someone who doesn't mind a used, incomplete set for a better deal is
probably going to hide all new listings. They're basically harming their
own business and are giving themselves a bad name. I'm not going to order
from someone who purposely is dishonest on listings, what else might they be
lying about?
