This guide is written to share with fellow ebayers what I have learnt while travelling through the real life and virtual world of LEGO collecting and building.
world of LEGO inhabitants
The set collector may only collect MISB (Mint In Sealed Box) sets. The condition of the box is of utmost importance to these collectors, since that is what they are collecting. Set collectors may also just collect all the sets of certain themes or certain years. When buying sets their best options are MIB (Mint In Box) or NIB(New In Box), but since the definitions of these terms aren't written in stone, a doubtful eye may pass over auctions listing this way. Often a non-MISB set collector will purchase an incomplete set, in order to complete it by hopefully finding the missing parts somewhere else. Complete sets listed for sale may have elements substituted, or coloured elements substituted, the decsription should note this as well as noting the condition of instructions and box. Instructions for most sets can be found online.
