The above store has the above item for sale, and lists it as "New, Sealed",
however it states in the description the following:

Contents removed and rebadged in baggie, comes with all parts, accessories and
instructions

Is it allowed to state a set is "New, Sealed", if it has been removed
and rebadged in baggie?

I would not normally expect this to be listed as an actual "New, Sealed"
set, however, it's been a while since I've purchased anything on BrickLink
and the description of this item, to me, does not match it's condition.

If anyone can point out the relevant BrickLink policies that make this an actual
and valid listing, please enlighten me.

If this post belongs in a different topic please move it and notify me, if possible.

Cheers ...

Hi Ghyde,

I do the same with my CMF to check which CMF it is to be 100% sure that I am
selling the correct one, however, I add them to BL as New - complete. Sealed
is only when it's sealed and it's clearly been opened (not sealed any
more), to check the contents of the baggy.

Kind regards,

José

I guess it should be "New, Complete" although even that is debatable
if the original foil package isn't included.

Correct. This is used complete or new incomplete. It cannot be sold as new complete
without original packaging.

I imagine the seller has just forgotten to update the condition from the default
new and sealed. If they bother you then you can report them and they will eventually
be removed.

I am still baffled by this. Why would anyone do that?

Because they are the blind bag Minifigures. Those are hard to describe. Either
you have to hope buyers trust your feeling skills, or you need to open them and
hope that the pieces don’t fall out. This person puts them in a baggie to prevent
them from falling out. But I really don’t know if it could be considered “sealed”

Thanks for the explanation. I think everyone is agreeing its not new sealed.
I acknowledge the difficulty in selling surprise bags as a specific minifigure.
There are xray machines though.
