I will put a small amount of effort in if I think there is a chance that the
item(s) are of interest, but I have to say that a sloppy dfescription may
also be a reflection on the integrity of the seller. If they can't describe
the lot very well (and I am willing to overlook things that clearly indicate
someone who is not familiar with LEGO but still has made an attempt to
describe their offering - I also noticed one seller specifying a detail on a
new lot that I had to ask about on an earlier lot).
