I would propose a more precise definition?

To be considered Complete:
* Box and eventual Instructions may be missing if clearly described in the Lot.

So it’s for Used only?

  If not, to be considered Incomplete:
* Box and Instructions may be missing if clearly described in the Lot.
* All eventual Inventoried Minifigures and Gears should be present.
* All eventual sticker Sheets should be present.

… or, for Used, stickers applied, or a mix of applied stickers and (incomplete)
sticker sheets.

  * Other missing parts or items should represent a relatively minor value eg.
less than 10% of the total Average Price Guide Value of this parted out Set --
at the date of the lot upload/update.

If not, it should be listed as Custom Item.

USED: If instructions or box are missing, it is still considered COMPLETE if
these deficiencies are mentioned in the notes. However, for more serious
deficiencies, the listing must be marked as INCOMPLETE, and for very serious
deficiencies, it must be listed as a custom item.

Well, I guess the problem is in the definition of “serious” and “very serious.” 
And saying “it’s on a case by case basis” won’t help those who genuinely want
to know how to list their sets without risking infringing.
(OTOH, rhetorical “what if” will still pop up anyway.)


  NEW: If instructions or box are missing, it is INCOMPLETE at best. It may not
even be able to be listed as INCOMPLETE if the essence of the set is missing
(all the minifigures in an IP set) or if only a small portion of the whole is
present (i.e. a single minifigure or a part).

Wasn’t there a tolerance for new, not yet catalogued, minifigures, when only
the set entry exists (so, without an inventory yet)?

  2000 euros or 30 orders in a year.

Tecnically less than 2000€ AND 30 orders per year.

Technically, it depends if you’re talking about the obligation to declare or
about the exception to not declare.

That is:
— you must declare if you’re OVER 2,000€ OR 30 orders in a year,
— you don’t have to declare if you’re UNDER 2,000€ AND 30 orders in a year.

IOW: you’re both right!  Celebrate with wafles! 🧇🧇🧇

  hi all. how do include my current parts list in wanted lists?

Hi,

If you want to “remove” the parts from your Wanted Lists (that is, automatically
change the Wanted and/or Have quantity), there’s no way to do that on the website


If you want to “only” transform your My Collection into a Wanted List, you could
do that on the website… but it’s a bit complicated (you need to export your collection,
then edit the file to replace all QTY with MINQTY, then paste the file on the
special tab on the upload page…).

The simplest is to use a third-party tool, like BrickStore, to manage your collection
and wanted lists.
BrickStore can read downloaded inventories (like My Collection; there’s an Export
function to ge the file) and Wanted Lists (there’s a download button in the WL;
BrickStore can also download them for you) and it can upload Wanted Lists.  In
BrickStore, you can merge or diff your lists easily.

Type 2 hasn’t been seen in a set since 2016.
And it’s only in one set from 2016 where Type 3 is an alternate.

So I would rule out finding Type 2 on PaB.  That’ll be Type 3.

Should they be variants?

They already are (with Type 1):

  As a Classic Space kid-at-heart that had several of the sets, I'm going to
overlook the 'less interesting' part of your description of Classic Space
Though most of the early sets had the trans-yellow or trans-blue pieces; it
wasn't until Futuron (I think) when they went with the trans-green.

Before Futuron:
 
Set No: 6891  Name: Gamma V Laser Craft
* 
6891-1 (Inv) Gamma V Laser Craft
121 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1985
Sets: Space: Classic Space

There already was White+Black+Trans-Blue sets before this one.

This set mixed both the Blue+LG+Trans-Yellow and White+Black+Trans-Blue schemes:
 
Set No: 6927  Name: All Terrain Vehicle
* 
6927-1 (Inv) All Terrain Vehicle
161 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1981
Sets: Space: Classic Space

By that point i would set the report listing feature to that it automaticly triggers
a lot into a custom listing on 1st report, and have a looksie by moderator or
personel after 2+ reports.. they already have massively tied hands when it comes
to time and work(load).

Good suggestion… except for the involvement of us, “experts” (moderators or others).

But this is about DAC-7, not about OSS & the €10k “Distance Selling” threshold.

AFAIK, DAC-7 wants to know for how much you sell, not what you buy.

And, again, there’s no proof that what you buy here, you sell here.  At most,
if DAC-7 was interested in that, it would ask for your buying _separately_, not
“selling minus buying.”

  Maybe by asking here, I will get a reply :

In the data that will be provided to the tax authorities, will the total of sales
be reduced by the total of bought items?

Hence the sold value -/- the bought value?

Asked it several times before in the last 18-20 months, but never got a reply
(AFAIK...).

Why?   The regulation asks for what you sell, not what you buy.

Of course you need to buy before you sell, but buying here is no different from
buying elsewhere.
(Besides, there’s also no way to know if you sell here what you buy here.  You
might buy elswhere to sell here and buy here to sell elsewhere, hopefully for
you at a higher price each time.)

Good news: Studio only has the -a variants

… but as the difference is only on the underside, why not use the same images
as 3933 and 3934?

Hi,

They are 5 bricks high, which is equivalent to 6 studs long.

Dimensions “in studs” are actually in “stud x stud x brick.”

I then request a compensation from the deliverer if possible and refund the buyer

entitled for a refund by paypal. We pay […] 6% and more costs for that so
why should I refund from my own pocket and loose money for purchase and shipping
when there's insurance. If your house burns down do you say: "I have
insurance but no problem, I'll pay for it myself"? I don't think
so. Should paypal decide not to refund him I will still do this but not before
that. My concern is that placing a NSS without waiting for the result from a
paypal claim is not helping anyone. How idiot would it be to just refund everyone
who places a NSS? And even then, when I refund but he does not removethe NSS
what do I gain? Do you refund every NSS that is placed? In that case I should
advise everyone who has ordered in your store whether it did arrive or not, to
place a NSS. How easy could it be to get a free delivery.

Pictures showing the difference would be appreciated.

Can’t really see but maybe the first one has only a small disc, not crosshairs.
