<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 805145, member: 16994"]We always see buyer beware tossed around in these threads. I also hear "well maybe that's the best picture he could take". I want to address these 2 points in one response. </p><p><br /></p><p>As a seller of something it is in YOUR best interest (not to mention your responsibility) to represent your item honestly. I can't count the number of threads here I have read in the last year about misleading photography. I would think that you should want to take the best picture possibile to help your item sell and also to make sure that the piece looks at least similar to how it looks in hand. This keeps your customers happy and minimizes the amount of returns you are going to come up with. There are digital cameras out there that cost less then $50 used or refurbished that take pictures light years ahead of these pictures. I mean $50 doesn't seem to be a stretch for this seller seeing how he is also selling an 1928 peace dollar in AU which is a several hundred dollar coin. I always play the devils advocate in these situations... but seriously... why would you want your pictures to look like these??? I can think of only one answer.... and I'll let you guys fill in the blank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
