Reused Item Photos. Misleading?

I noticed today that there are two Ruby 3 carts for sale from different buyers. Each uses the same photographs to seemingly represent the condition and packaging of the item for sale. I think it is misleading practice unless disclosed as a representitive photo of a similer item.

How do members feel about this practice?

Come on Guys - PLEASE, lets concentrate on the subject.
Seriously.
Personally, I would never use some-"body's" pictures to try selling my less then perfect beloved treasures........?
Well, maybe in one case, but I don't think she would be happy to hear that 7 is actually 4. Anyway, Viridian can you hook the brother up with some curvy/mint pictures.

On a serious note - as suggested ;) - The copying of others auction photos was part of a major scam on eBay where they would use the photo of someone else's auction and then say "Don't contact us via eBay - email us direct" with offer to sell very high end equipment for GBP700.

I've been considering using this curvy/mint picture

But I know Tabl10s will come after me for diluting his quality image for the sake of a couple of bucks.

Albert, that is nice - really.
I think we have a deal.

I will double box my and bubble wrap it.
I could include the pump but I need it for my Advanced Analog MG-1 Linear Arm.
It is mint and I used it for....? about 1hour a day in the past 3 months. Approximately 100 hours give or take.
I rate it 4 but it looks like a 7.

Thank goodness Marty joined this thread! I always love it when he talks about his equipment pictures, especially when he gets a rise out of someone who just doesn't get it.
