Default "representative pictures"

I found several auction lots listed at a location that I suspect had some issues recently (of the sort experienced at Grayling) that are marked "representative pictures". The lots all have the same description and photograph. I assume this a way to force pre bidding inspections, is this going to become the norm for GL on multiple, similar items in one location?

Here's how it went for me: At loadout at RRAD, pull up to the lots, forklift driver brings the items, I say, "gee, can I have that one instead", he says "sure". All items have the same diid. Pointless to preview, because you will possibly only get the lot you looked at if you are the first to loadout. They only do this with somewhat similar condition lots it would appear. But we are talking about GL.

The same thing happens on other auction sites, but most don't have the disclaimer.

I've most often seen it done with tires and tents but it's not limited to those.

They are not called Fart sacks for nothing.

I sold enough today that I am only $122 into them now and will probably dump the rest in my shop to use as moving blankets.
also I left some in my deuce as a offering to the rain gods to stop our drought here in TEXAS
last night and we finally got some much needed rain so its worth the $

Recent auction at creekside - listed Qty as 3 pl "bidder should verify qty". Photos showed a pallet. An inner fender-represenitive of what one would think would be in the pallet. And another view of the inner fender. Long story short it was three pieces - three inner fenders. I guess GL could not count to three. There were many lots listed this way.
