Do people contact the sellers for better descriptions?

I recently won a very nice lot of LEGO on Ebay for what turned out to be a
very low bid. The item description was obviously incomplete as it started
out stating there were 13 sets and then only 6-7 were listed before the
description was truncated. I contacted the seller and he provided me with a
list of the sets and it turns out the higher valued sets were what had been
left off! I placed a fair bid for the lot (about twice the current bid) and
was suprised to win at my opening bid.
I was expecting some other competetion at the end but it never came. Do
most bidder simply take a look at the description and reject it out of hand
if it is a bad description? I would think that most non-LEGO people would
have a hard time drafting a quality description that commands the highest
bids and following up on these lots would be worth the effort.
Am I in the minority?
