M96 Cylinder Heads/Cam Covers - EBay

I bought a $700 2000 Boxster project. Engine “quit running” and sat for several years. I determined that B1 timing was off. Turns out part of the chain rail broke off, lodged in the sprocket and it jumped timing. All intake and exhaust valves were damaged, and need to be replaced. I was just going to buy a new head setup and bolt it on.

I looked on EBay, and there are lots of Heads for sale. Most are being sold without the cam bearing caps and cam cover. I know these are matched machined parts, and won’t work if you mix and match.

How are these parts on EBay useful, if they aren’t selling the complete set? Doesn’t make sense to me and figure I must be missing something. How could a head missing the caps and cover be worth anything?
