*Laughs* Yes, that is so representative of some of the pictures I've seen. What do you mean, the kid doesn't come with the auction? Negative feedback, terrible seller!

Though, to be fair; the average seller on ebay is just an average Joe from the street who has no idea how to photograph coins properly.. heck, we have a hard time with it. Plus, they're probably just using whatever scanner or camera they've got, which means horrible quality. Still, it gives us a reason for a good laugh on a rainy day.

Well...one would think that even the average Joe would look at his pics and say, "Hmmm...this isn't going to do the trick!" and then find some better way to get a usable photograph.

How in the world does this person think these images are going to sell their items? Have you noticed the only pic that is clear and is a closeup shot is the crest he is holding in hand?

The first picture below the black doll... what on earth is that? I can't even tell if it's a coin or not.

OK... just took a drink of coffee, there should be warnings when you post something like this. You know how much coffee burns coming back out your nose when you laugh. Thanks for the chuckle, great way to start a day out.

Sad part of this is that some of the pictures are that way because they simply don't know any better, others are that way to hide something. Pick and choose I guess.
