It's even worse than this!

There's a discount if you buy 5 of the same, but there's only 1 qty of
each set.

So OP could announce "FREE" or even "I pay you if you buy 10"
you still would pay an extremely high price with this totally deceptive sale
and listing.

If someone has some time, please Report every lot.

I don't know - reasons to report are few, same for Lots, too few - may not
correspond.
But yes, as to someone at the administration to have a look?

I did report 10 randomly picked lots anyway.

indeed, the options are vague but for deceptive sales practises, I'm certain
there is probably at least 1 regulation its against so perhaps "violates
bricklink tos" might work as tos says you must follow laws so perhaps that
but honestly I've got no idea

Maybe they are going for the record number of least favourites.

Sorry but I'm tired to see this.
I'm to report this post and the shop.

You had 36 lots iirc and 28 as of right now, all in quantity ONE.
So "Buy 5 or more sets" is simply impossible, thus, it's just deceptive.

Why?
You can buy 5 different items that are all sets and the condition would be fulfilled:
you’d have bought 5 sets.

the individual listing refer to having to buy 5 of the same set in order to get
the discount

No, you've buy 5 of the same, and all 36 lots were 1 unit each.

If the seller thinks it's different then it's simply silly.
I'd buy 4 different Sets at $10 to get the 50% OFF the $600 (say) Set.

In any case, this is a deceptive sale.

It's getting better, You can't buy 5 items as they "Do not fit in
the package"

I do not understand why you people are stuck thinking you have to buy 5 of the
same set.
Just read what is written. Simple! Don't read more into it. I cannot say
I agree with this so called sale. have not looked into how great of a deal it
would be, doubt it is.

I do not understand why you people are stuck thinking you have to buy 5 of the
same set.

Because:

1) the sale and the slogan says "Buy 5 or more sets and get each set 50%
off!"

2) each lot says, for example: "Buy 5+ US $49.995 (~EUR 46.1764)" which
is exactly 50% OFF

It can't be a coincidence.


If it is:

a) What is the point to list each and every lot at only 1 unit and say you'd
ship 5 at half price? You could say I offer 99% OFF if you buy 10!

b) Even if it was reasonnable, would you place an order for $200 and expect a
50% rebate - when you risk an NPB if you don't get the 50%?
