The re-use of pictures already on the internet is used by scammers the world over ,and instantly raises suspicions.
It's easily found too , as there are search engines you can give a picture too and it will list each site that picture has appeared on.
In short , it's a lovely machine and deserves fresh photo's!

I think any serous buyer could fairly quickly determine that the auction and the seller are totally above board. I too have initial suspicions when I see high end stuff up for auction though. There are a lot of scammers out there. I sold an Amberola 1A a few years ago on eBAY only to find someone had taken the pics from my eBAY listing and used them to fraudulantly offer an Amberola 1A on Craigslist in the UK. I attempted to contact the seller but not surprisingly, never got any reply..
