It's so hard for me to tell anything about a part (especially ones with bearings and/or gears and other moving parts) from a picture like that.    Those would probably sell very well at a swap meet where the buyer can pick up a part and look at it closely.

I say that because I was at the big York swap meet yesterday, and I bought a lot of bits and parts that I could handle and look close at that I would not have tried if I had to depend on a picture.   AND there were parts that I could have used, but taking a close look, I could tell that they were too worn for me to use.

Still a place for swap meets like York and MidOhio and Barber even in this craigslist/eBay age .....

I agree. Maybe someone will bite on something, but really I think it's a waste of time to post an ad with zero details.
