I didn't look for long, but there's also incomplete sets (collectible
figs) listed as complete with this description:
Excellent condition, accessories not included.


The most common mistakes I see sellers making with regards to listings are:
- Using descriptions such as "like new"
- Listing incomplete figures
- Listing collectible figure sets as "new/complete" without the packaging
or leaflet.

I think you're ok on the second one, but you should check your listings for
the other two.

I noticed that many items are listed as NEW with the description saying “Excellent
condition” or “Good condition”. New means New, plain and simple. This leads
me to believe the items are actually USED items and listed incorrectly as New.
There is a Patrick Head listed as New where the description reads “Good condition
with minor cracks”. So that’s another Red Flag.

Lastly, it appears that you mainly sell Sets. So I’m not sure that would “boost”
someone’s inventory. It would be an extremely long and pain-staking process
for a subsequent Seller to inventory and verify all of those sets.

shhhh!

Don't reveal the red flags to the "iffy" sellers or they'll get
rid of their red flags.

Your store is regularly priced at $4500.

That's is less than a 9% discount. I cannot imagine many sellers saying
no to a full store selloff at 91% of their asking prices. AND there's probably
never been a buyer stupid enough to make that offer. A $4100 budget for Lego
is pretty decent buyer power.
