The car part-out auction actually makes sense, even though its unorthodox. He's using the auction as an ad only. He's not selling any one specific thing, just parts from the vehicle and he's clearly too lazy to list individual parts.
Laziness is the new killer on eBay and Craigslist. People often won't post a list and tell you to refer to a series of blurry pics so you can see what crap you're getting (so annoying with games) or provide nothing at all other than "trust me, this lot is worth it. Must see to believe". Yeah, must see our copy of Donkey Kong Country and 30 sports games. What makes it worse is that the market for retro games is so huge that these people can get away with it. Hell, I got those 3 Mario party games via a super vague "lots of NES/SNES/N64 games for sale, email me for list" Craigslist ad. I got a good deal, but it's super annoying playing guessing games and having to send a half dozen emails back and forth just to figure out if you even want anything that these people are selling, let alone be willing to pay their asking price (which I also had to provide, since the guy told me he was "only taking offers"). Making the buyer do all the work is fucking lame.
