You may have seen all those posts of people selling old bikes, motorcycles, cars, etc for sale. They are not the nice restoration ones. They're the rust buckets that are best for parts or to fix up. This listing is one example of what I am talking about.

You can see that in many listing the seller may suggest---best for parts, but can be restored. Other listing may suggest that the wheels are too beyond to try to fix. Best to throw away and just find replaceable ones. Why does the seller need to mention that they're best for parts, but would be fixed up?

Maybe I'm old school, but I would think that customers would look at pictures and descriptions. Make decisions for themselves. Every time I read that the seller suggest the vehicle may be best for parts, I wonder why it needs to be mentioned. I would see with my own eye and judge.

Yes, this link above is my listing. I chose to NOT mention what the buyer would do with it. I think that buyer would decide for themselves without my feedback.
