How would you list this set: New, Complete or Used?

I bought a set from another marketplace, it was complete with three bags, instructions,
stickers and box. Bag one was opened and the minidolls built (friends set) and
a few pieces put together, but mostly all apart in mint condition. Bags 2 and
3 are still sealed. Sticker sheet and instructions are in new condition. I verified
bag one is complete with instructions. So 3/4ths of the set is new and the other
I would normally classify as used.

Everything in bag one could have been put together with the seller taking (most)
of it apart before selling it.

Still mulling over which way to go. Here are two examples of the same set posted
either way:
New complete: https://store.bricklink.com/eprespite?itemID=244080375
Used complete: https://store.bricklink.com/Grobxk?itemID=141310691

"a few pieces put together" means it's used.

Some of the pieces in your set were put together - they're used, so the set
in general is used. If the bag were merely opened, but the pieces never put together,
then I think you could list it as New.

The second example you posted is actually not complete.

How does someone with 5k feedbacks not know the very simple rules of this site?

Please explain?

The seller has at least one more set that is listed as complete but has alternative
parts. And that is just in the Friends category

Yeah, I'm real bad for pointing that out!

As always, I assume everything is about me.
My apologies, now I understand where your comment was directed.

I would part the set out as parts and mark contents of bag 2+3 and the sticker
sheet as new parts and bag 1 + minidolls + instructions as used parts.

100% used complete - with a note that bags 2 and 3 are still new and sealed.

I have (or had) a couple of sets listed in this way.
