I came across a seller that has listed a set as New Sealed. They then added the
info, "100% complete, all minifigs included, instructions and box included.
Stickers not applied."

So, is this a used set that is complete? Why add all this extra info if the set
is in fact sealed as everything would be in the sealed box.

Has anyone else come across this before?

Maybe the bags are still sealed.

They got back to me this morning. Their reply was "Sorry, that sets has sold."

Maybe they realized an error and will fix it?

I wouldn't doubt it. It's amazing how quickly something sells (or it's
price goes up) when you reach out to someone about a specific set.

If the box seals are broken but everything is there it should be listed as New
Complete. The only info needed for a New Sealed listing is the box condition.

With a description like that I imagine it is used but listed as sealed in error.
If priced as used, someone snaps it up believing it is sealed as listed that
way. Then the trouble starts when they receive an opened set.
