Visit the preview! Don't visit the auction perfect when it begins and expect to bid on an item without inspecting it through the preview. All items are sold completely as-is! Of course this is in an ideal world. If you are bidding remotely, the best it is possible to do is take notes in line with the auction item's explanation and pictures. Usually any significant damage will undoubtedly be listed, though this is not always the case.
