I was interested until I saw it is Whalen auctioneers. I got screwed by them once.  Not again.

Im sorry to hear that.   They have always been stand-up for me.  One of the best auctioneers in my opinion.

Care to elaborate? Thanks. I always thought Whalen were square shooters.

They advertised a 10-20 engine as stuck.  I put in a max bid.  Last minute it was at my max which is always an odd amount.  I won it. Went to get it.  It was stuck alright.  Self ventilated.  Sheet metal over the hole with putty and paint. Of course you couldn’t see it in the photos.  When I said something all I got was “buyer beware”.

Thanks. Yah, it’s sometimes risky to buy auction stuff sight unseen / not being  there in person. Sorry for your experience. On-line does have its pros and cons.

I have hardly ever bought anything online. I really don’t like online at all. 
Buyer beware advice sucks, you just can’t see all the flaws in a picture. Especially when they aren’t in the picture!

Yup. That was my last online auction. If I can’t go in person I don’t need it.  I did look at a couple 806’s on a local online auction.  Good thing I went and looked.   There was a lot of things the pics didn’t show.

Was going and take some IH parts that I will probably never use until I called, and they told me 25% commission. Just as well let someone give them away after gone instead of load and haul.
