Reused Item Photos. Misleading?

If I use a stock photo, as opposed to a photo of the actual item, I always disclose. It is the ONLY way to do it.

Most of the stuff that I sell on this site is totally thrashed, so I pretty much have to harvest pictures of nicer examples off of the net or I wouldn't sell a thing. I don't have a problem with it. You can also squeeze out a few more bucks by finding pictures with better options or exotic finishes than the crap that you have. Works like a charm. Pepper up your prose like that guy from the DAK catalog, Drew; "sound explodes out of the speakers", etc. And don't forget to use clear descriptors like "minty" and "used in second system". Happy selling.

Marty,

You forgot to include "but I digress" somewhere in the middle of your description.

In case you didn't know, that's a sure fire way to show you're a clever writer.

That was funny Viridian!

in this case, it seems like they're the same cartridge. looks like someone bought it and decided to sell it and used the pics from the previous seller.

i agree the pics in the ads should be of the actual item or disclose otherwise.
