So then they attached the real photos below the MoHPC shots.

I wonder if people are just too lazy to go take a picture or are they somehow being less than honest. If you were going to sell something, you should at least make a little effort to take pictures of the actual item. What a novel idea, huh? I think eBay should disallow stock photos unless you're selling a brand spanking new item. I tend to steer clear of those kinds of sellers. I know not everyone who does that is dishonest, but I want to have some warm and fuzzy when I buy something. John
