I would say it was like going to bed with Bo Derek from 10 and waking up with present day Bo Derek.

Hello all in this forum.
I was upset to see the post about me trying to deceive people. That's not the case. I didn't realize these would go for this much money, and thus require this level of scrutiny.

I am going to end all the auctions, and re-list these at a later date out of their frames and with more detailed photos.

It wasn't my intention to deceive anyone.
Sorry and thanks.

Honesty is the best policy. Good call on ending the listings to gather detailed photos.

I don't think you were trying to deceive anyone and I would guess most board members would agree. If you were, why would you pull them from the frames and post the pics.

Not saying you're not right, but sometimes it's worth taking a bit of a risk... I got this thing from a "0" rated seller who "downplayed", shall we say, the crease in the corner - turns out the crease was no big deal at all.

I think I got a good deal on this one.

In general, though, I think you're right. Just gotta use your best judgement, I suppose.

I should probably post as my post was the one questioning your auctions. You don't seem like your trying to deceive anyone. I was purely pointing out that it's worth asking to see pics out the frame. If you didn't think the condition was worth mentioning from the beginning then that's enough for me not to bid. I'd question, do you know how to ship a print properly also?

It seems like your keen to do it the right way by asking questions on here and pulling the auction and relisting with new pics. So your obviously genuine. Good luck with the sales.

Hey I'm back. Finally gonna list these again. This time with more detailed description of condition, etc. I removed from frames and have stored safely since 2012. Here's the pics from 2012: https://imgur.com/a/3vfbq#0 (Sorry for doubles, etc.). I might look into doing some repairs as was suggested in this thread. Still not sure. Any advice on how :wink: would be appreciated. Thanks all. :wink: -Wells
