[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 2250932, member: 98025"] I would've felt like I'd been mislead. As a member with quite a bit of Trader History here I feel it necessary to [B]humbly [/B]chime in on this one. It would [B]appear [/B]that the picture angle you provided likely wasn't provided in the sellers original ad [B]because it was unsightly [/B]and could've affected the sale of the item.[B] [/B]As an avid Buyer/Seller/Trader on this forum I feel that your word is a reflection of who you are, what you represent and how you do business.
