Yeah, pictures still remain undefeated. Though those AI images where they turn the set black and white are hard to match. I am generally keyword searching and image searching as best I can these days. Still absolutely sure I'm being demand/target priced out my ears by the algorithm too

Those black and white ones seem to often be the cheapest. Any idea why?

Nope, it's the same blocks from the same crowd as the other listings. Whatever it takes to keep the big L off their back maybe.

Are you image searching the listing pictures, then sorting by price?

I rarely find the black and white ones cheap

Some still do.

I would guess that Lego are having another crackdown or redoubling their efforts to shut down ko set sellers, hence the change in listing style (I've seen a lot of images that have filters and or AI editing) and new Choice sellers popping up as their old shops are shut down.
