Free vs Paid Instructions for MOCs

I don't see how F1 is enforceable to be honest, so I wouldn't really worry about it.

Even with the original F4 wording, I'm not surprised they're not allowed - all they'd do is clutter up the website. The only argument I can see in response to this is that Rebrickable should be able to check your inventory to see if you have enough parts to for a colour swap. I have no idea if it already has this ability though.

 

But why are they allowed as paid MOC's then? Don't the same arguments apply?

Once again, let's use this topic to discuss free vs. paid instructions, not for self-promotion of sales and discounts.

What promotional?
It was EXACTLY about on topic, without links. That screenshot was a proof that covid-era model was selling A LOT better than best selling models now, and only thing that keeps it selling lately is a 30% discount (it barely solds trough past months)

Just do not hide this again. It's not bragging about the numbers, there are few other MOCs that were selling at Rebrickable much higher. A Holy Grail of alts as I said in that hidden post.

It's about covid and post covid sales of instructions, which is a deeper topic than it looks, especially when you are for years in that bussines and ran out of ideas how to promote these further. Overal sales drop is signifficant, I am almost sure that none of the already made or future models will be close. World changed, people have a lot of things to do than sitting in their houses.

It was about Black Friday discounts on your profile and Eric's profile:

Sooo, the Black Friday discounts are currently running at both my and @eric trax Rebrickable profiles

It was previously requested to avoid this and keep the focus on the discussion of free vs. paid instructions.
Several similar posts have been reported and hidden.

Just use this topic what it is for, do not promote discounts at your store at this specific topic (use the main MOC's presentation topic for that), and nothing will be hidden.

1800 units for the 42114 Grader is insanely good. I am on 1100 for the 42111 Pickup and 1000 each for the 1:8 cars as the highest numbers though COVID and later.
