It's disappointing how often one sees beautiful or useful items in eBay listing pictures (like tables, tablecloths, rugs, furniture, carpets, radiators, coats, toys, crockery, etc.), only to find when you win the auction they were not included . :(

Good one, Graham!   :lol:

Yep, human trafficking isn't allowed under eBay's rules.
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

They made a test some couple of years ago in Germany offering four identical candle sticks worth about 5€ each. One just picturelessly described, one shown on a sloppy picture, one neatly presented and the fourth presented by a stunningly pretty woman (who explicetly wasn't even the one to personally pick the item from if required). Amazingly enough the neatly presented candle stick was purchased for about ten time its real prize. But the one presented by the woman won far more than 100€...

Vor ein paar Jahren gab's einen Versuch in Deutschland, bei dem ein billiger Kerzenständer für ca. 5 € angeboten wurde. Mal nur mit Beschreibung, mal mit einem billigen Bild, einmal hübsch dekoriert und schließlich in den Händen einer hübschen Frau (die explizit nicht einmal zugegen sein würde, falls man das Teil persönlich abholen wollte). Nicht nur, daß der hübsch dekorierte ungefähr für das Zehnfache seines Wertes über die Theke ging, der in den Händen der Frau erbrachte weit über 100€...  ::)
