I had some offline discussion with Mike P. about this and I think my opinion on this small controversy hasn't been stated clearly. I am going to go out on a limb and say that there are a lot of eBay sellers who misuse descriptions and in general do (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) When a set is bought from a store, there is a strong expectation that the set is complete. Completeness is part of the 'as if new' condition.

I would think that LEGO fans of your calibre would have already thought of, say a yellow 2x2 plate, then a red one, a green one, another red one, and another yellow one making a pretty passable label. (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) Thats the same thing I was wondering. Ever notice that almost every auction of an old MIB LEGO set on eBay is from Italy?

I'd agree with this wrap up... many eBay sellers are grossly misrepresenting stuff. They're so far off the mark that it doesn't really matter which of us is right exactly about what MIB means, it's not even close to what they say. HOWEVER, I as you (...)
