Was there any mention of the non-standard grill by the auctioneer?
It would be interesting to know why the upper section of the grill was apparently vandalized. It can be repaired or replaced with any M upper grill section so it is not a "deal killer"
I can come up with a few scenarios:
A competing bidder was pi$$ed at the sale or Marty in particular.
Marty refused to part the tractor at the auction so the grill was vandalized out of spite. The vandal knew it would sell high at Marty's auction and be out of his range
An employee of Marty was pi$$ed.
Marty wanted it damaged and photographed because he expected it would be damaged in shipment. eBay's Buyer Protection claims system doesn't allow for buyer submitted photos. Marty is now in a position where he can refuse a refund based on his own photo of damage. His eBay rep would have no choice but to back Marty. Even to the point of deleting a negative feedback.
