1. 100% Complete Truth in Advertising

   

   Discussion by mooman66 · March 2015 · Home› Buying & Selling Topics

   I mostly sell small sets picked up at yard sales and flea markets. When listing them on ebay I refer to them as 100 % complete because all of the pieces are there.

   If you are selling sets from a lot you bought, I would disclose that info somehow. I would also say that there are no extra parts. What does 100% Complete really mean? All the parts are present to complete the model or all parts are present according to how many were included in the box? A real anal person would probably…
