Very good point. I've got a couple of stories relating to this.
Sold a guy a shrinked "Hitchhiker's Guide", which he proceeded to
open (the horror! The HORROR!!), and found there was no fluff
inside. Original shrink, had the sticker to prove it. Also I've
heard of Infocoms with multiple sets of props, and my own Dysan
Deadline packet has like three extra "Documentary Evidence"
stickers.
Also, on the subject of the scale, might "Item Missing (IM)" be
added as a modifier for open packages? I'm currently implementing
this in the Shoppe revision to allow people to spot incomplete
packages easier.
And could the "Sealed" notation have an abbreviation of "S"?
