|
| I am trying to figure out how to price my new and sealed sets using Brickseller
or similar. The problem I am running into is that there is no way of pricing
within the subcategory of New vs New AND Sealed. Depending on the seller, 'New'
may be defined as a just the sealed bags sans the box, and/or instructions, or
in other cases, without minifigs.
From my understanding, the API does not provide access to this distinction.
Given that there is definitely a price difference between these, how do other
sellers automate their pricing without having to check each item one by one?
That's not an option when you have hundreds of new sets.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

A set without minifigs is surely incomplete - and if it isn't listed as such,
ought to be reported.

| There are quite a number of them out there listed in that manner.

New and new and sealed are almost the same if you price based on complete. New
Sealed obviously means new and sealed whereas New (complete) is exactly the same
contents, just that the box / bags are no longer sealed.

| You are indeed correct, but there is still a price difference, especially for
highly collectable sets. I was hoping to be able to distinguish between them
since they are not exactly the same thing. The definition of 'New' seems
to vary as mentioned above, and so does the pricing of such. I was hoping to
differentiate between the subcategories.

How many different sets are you listing at once? When listing a set, I tend to
check prices of local competition anyway rather than rely on a global average,
so new vs sealed new is just one extra click. I find the extra 60 seconds or
so to check local prices is often worthwhile.

| I have several hundred. I've never sold sets in my store before though I
have amassed a good number of them.

| If a set is missing the box or instructions it cannot be listed as new and complete.
If you see one listed as new/complete, report it and it will be removed.
