When you bid on a lot, are you bidding on what is pictured, or what is in the description? Most of the pictures suck and the descriptions seem to be written by someone who has no idea what they are describing and spelling makes you wonder

Example, Lot 1164, "Ford Grill" They give dimensions? Am I supposed to check if it is an inch short? 1/2 long? 2 in too wide? Would be good if it was stated, used, restored, NOS, Vintique, that would be helpful.

Example, Lot 1336, "Ford Parts" What is a Gatke Gear? Lot of 20, I counted 7 times came up with 19 every time. I think the Gatke Gear is awol

Example, Lot 1334, "Ford air cleaner and parts" Lot of 13, I count 15 items. Do they hold back two items???

Example, Lot 1354. "1932 Ford engine fan NOS" dimensions again, OK, seven pictures, four are of a fuel pump??? If your the successful bidder do you get the fan and the pump because it's pictured?

Otherwise Im gobsmacked!!!!!!!!
