| I was wondering how one would sell the minifig cmf sets? I am selling them as
new but the substatus is somewhat hazy to me. A lot of sellers sell as new and
complete but throw away the box. I would rather (for storing purposes but also
for cheaper shipping) lose the box and sell them in a ziploc bag...
What is the policy on this? And how strict is it? If it is strict, I'm just
going to scan them and sell the boxes as is

You can't sell them as New, Complete without the box.
You can sell them as New, Incomplete OR you could part them out as sets and sell
the minifigures in zip bags.

Many sellers list CMFs that have been opened to check what they are and put into
a ziplock bag as a new(complete) set (but not new(sealed). This seems to have
been tolerated for the last decade and more, and is pretty much the standard
now. Obviously not listing them as new(sealed), just new(complete). I've
never had a complaint about not including the empty packet when selling like
that. The only complaint I ever had with one was when I included the empty packet
and the buyer complained I was sending them my rubbish.

Honestly I personally think the guidelines for complete sets should be changed.

I think it's one thing to not include a polybag, but the CMFs come in boxes
now.

They still need to be opened to identify them as they are meant to be blind packaged.
Of course, in some cases the barcodes can be used where known. In the same way
buyers don't care about ripped open foil packets for earlier series, I doubt
buyers will want sellers to be shipping the relatively large and heavy ripped
open boxes at the buyer's expense, just for them to be thrown away. If they
were meant to be identifiable without opening, it is a very different case.

I am genuinely curious how this changes anything?

I just opened all of mine so I can note that one can open them with minimal damage
and use tape to re-seal (not to sell them as sealed, of course). I don't
think this is possible with a polybag.

Have you had any problems shipping them in bubble envelopes?

It is possible to cut open a polybag and seal it again with tape. If you really
wanted to be neat, you can split them behind the flap on the back and it is almost
invisible. But they are still open and take up more space than putting in a ziplock
bag and most buyers buying a non-sealed set want it for the contents and not
the packet.

Honestly this is why I generally just part them out if I'm going to sell
them.
