I think you need to provide us with a little more context before we can answer your question. My first question is why would anyone even question the components of the game? Why would they even think you might sell them an incomplete game? Is this something you're selling on E-bay? Please be more specific.

I also don't understand the question, but if you're a publisher, I think the general answer is that Sally gives Bob the requested "missing" pieces, no questions asked. Sure, sometimes you'll get burned but it's worth the couple of pennies to provide a new piece to someone who may be dishonest than the fallout from refusing to fill a legitimate request for a missing piece. Even if Bob is lying, he probably paid $20 or $30 for the game, which makes stealing a couple of pieces in this way a pretty inefficient way to be a crook...

I chanced upon the following article recently that deals directly with what I think might be the question asked here .... the underlying assumption in * this article/experiment * is that companies are obliged to replace missing pieces, and per usual sales etiquette, the customer is always right.

IMVHO, there's always a chance that someone's trying to burn you. But if it's just for one or two pieces, then those chances are pretty small. I think you should give the customers the benefit of the doubt, until they prove to you that you need to be wary. Rio Grande sends pieces out no questions asked, so their reputation for customer support is outstanding.
sally sells bob a chess game. Bob buys the chess game and well knows all the pieces are in it. But bob is a little nasty one and claims that sally did not sell all the pieces!
