Victor VV-1-70 on ebay... don't fall for this one...

Post by brianu »

this seller seems to know enough about what he's doing, and takes photos of all of his other items... but this listing, for a VV-1-70, lifts a shot of a clean one from somewhere online and uses that shot for the auction, rather than a photo of the one that's being sold (I wonder why)... because that one apparently has been painted and "needs TLC."

... just to stress the importance of never going just by the photos (which one typically would think tell a far more accurate story than a seller's written description of the old "vitriola" that's in excellent shape "for its age").
