Are at a minimum, at least know how many numbered steps there are? 1. That’s only possible for recent instructions / sets, where bags are numbered AND shown in the instructions. But some have multiple bags in one or two steps with the same number but the instructions only show the step bag to use not how many.    For the older sets, there’s some people who keep pics on bricksafe or similar.  Or youtube videos…. 2. The question of “how many bags in such set?” comes up frequently.  It would save time to keep that info somewhere accessible an universal, like in the BL catalogue, instead of re-doing the job every time I understand this isn't the golden answer, but it would at least provide some idea of how many to expect. And if pictures are available from the auction, certainly someone with a good sense of reading instructions and being able to see parts in numbered bags from pictures could determine if it appears all bags are there or not or if some are glaringly missing. Anyway, those are the steps I would take... or pay the premium for a set that is sealed and complete. Since it is on Ebay, I would take the assumption it is not complete and the seller knows it.
