        You assume because the same picture was used, the ABY engines look the same so would not have made a difference if another picture was used as no identity marks were shown.

        The buyers are happy with the engines but when the complete ADU engines comes up for sale in the next couple of weeks I will add a new picture just for you

          It is misleading at best to advertise something with an inaccurate picture even if it's a similar item. We're not talking about brand new identical parts here, these are used items with no manufacturer warranty where condition is paramount to the buyer. If you have not categorically stated it is not the picture of the actual item, this is called fraud

            Agreed, although the original sentiment might not of course intend to be fraud but on a technicality it is. How hard is it to click a couple photos? It's not. You could save yourself a considerable amount of time and hassle if purchaser decides he doesn't want it for whatever reason as he could say it's a different engine pal.

                  The engine looked exactly like the picture i:e ABY engine.

                  The bidders were informed of the picture error and were happy to go ahead with the sale.

                    I alaways stare in BOLD when I am using a "library" picture and not a specific picture of the item for sale, keeps things clear

                        We do make mistakes as humans and do our best to rectify the issues / mistakes and so far people are happy (that does include a few forum members too)

                        We also understand that we can not keep everyone happy and it is threads like this that we learn from about any minor mistakes we have made.
