Interesting pics in this listing.
« on: July 06, 2010, 01:25:09 PM »
Anyone else think that using someone else's pics of a machine and not making mention that the pic is not of the actual machine is wrong?

They usually use pics from the IPDB or Treasure Cove site but they have stayed a bit closer to home it looks like this time.

low act, but maybe that's why they used small versions of them

Definitely not the usual pictures they "use" from IPDB or Treasure Cove.

Poor form indeed !

A picture is worth a 1,000 words.

It very disturbing that they could not take the 5 seconds to grab a Digital camera and post some pics of the actual machine  @.@

Probably because they don't have the machine for sale. Strange that the over priced EMs and SS machines thay have on eBay have several large photos, but maybe the camera "developed" a fault for this particular machine.

No excuses, but to be expected from this seller.

In pretty much every listing they put on eBay? 

I have also dealt with them and I'll leave it at that.

The second line in the heading says:

"Due to arrive in 3 weeks time - order now"

but then in the listing body it says:

"This machine is very neat & is on display in our showroom."

So which is it???? !@#

This machine is now re-listed, pics are still the same.

You would think he would have real pictures the second time around.
