| Hello everyone,
I´m a long-time collector but quite new in the selling game, and I have a question
that I didn´t find a clear answer to yet.
I like to restore vintage sets, and for my personal collection I sometimes use
replica stickers - usually from 'brickstickershop' - to restore and brigthen
up the sets. They´re high-quality stickers matching original size and colours,
and often are available for sets where it´s hard or even impossible to get the
original sticker sheets anymore.
So every now and then the collection gets too big, and I´d like to sell some
of the sets again.
My questions about this are:
- Is it acceptable / legal to offer vintage sets which use replica stickers?
(Of course with the explicit note in the offer listing that replicas were used.)
- If yes, should it be listed as 'custom item' or would it be okay to
list in the original category? (again, with explicit note of replica stickers
being used.)
Notes: I'm not planning to sell replica sticker sheets, which I know are
third-party items and are not allowed here. I´m just speaking of a handful of
sets where replica stickers were already applied. (picture below shows my 363/555
hospital with replica stickers.)
Sorry for the wall of text, but I want to do everything correct. I´m very thankful
for any constructive answers.
