649pb10 Road Sign Triangle with Worker and 2 Piles Pattern (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Road Sign, Decorated
Marked for Deletion

As you can see on the picture, the men is not the same on both sign
Should I create a new part, or request to add an additional note ?

It will be difficult to know which part goes on which set.

Pattern is completly different. Add new part.

Okay,

Shall I create 2 new parts for "Thick" and "Thin" ?
Actual 649pb10 should be "unterminated"


-Fred

Yes, create two specific entries so that the original entry will be able to be
marked for deletion and set to undetermined.

Cheers,
Randy

  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.

Try this search:

https://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?viewFrom=sa&itemBrand=1000&invNew=N&itemType=S&q=%22Built+once%22&searchComments=Y&searchSort=B&sz=500

There are quite a few "new" sets that have been "built once" on here. It seems
admins are busy doing other things instead of removing these when they are reported.

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.

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

  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.

Once a mistake
Two possibly
A lot - definitely not a mistake
