| Hi,
Just apost to clear my mind.
I bought a set that has been cancelled by Lego. They cancelled it because of
1 stickered part and rereleased it without the part and sticker.
One seller sold it as a used set without box or instructions.
The “banned” stickered part just doesn’t look like a real sticker from Lego.
The collar looks flat and the cut is not perfect.
I was in doubt until i see the same seller selling the set again
box and instructions
It looks like he is buying the rerelease en printed the sticker himself and sell
the set 2.5 times the price.
Again i’m not 100% sure it is a scam. I definitly can’t prove it. But it isn’t
sitting right with me…
How do you look at it?

There haven't been any sales of used sets of the Beijing Postcard here. Where
did you buy it? Do you have pictures of the part?

I see, listed as a custom item so there is no trace of sold ones. If the seller
relists one each time he sells one and none of them have boxes or instructions
then I imagine something is not right.

| Agreed. This isn't a one off mistake. It sounds like fraud if he's
done this multiple times. Report him and file a paypal claim. You can't
sell non-lego here and that includes stickers.
