    Odd ebay pictures...

    I remember a while back there was a phase of people photographing metalic/reflective items (eg chrome kettles) whilst naked to acheive a cheeky reflection... however i was being a cheapskate and looking at a&f t-shirts on ebay and came across this one: link

    what are these photos about:




    why is there an old man lying on the bed??

    Well he has got one bid of 1p.. whether that is for the t-shirt, or the old man... tbh I was imagining someone about 90, laid stretched out (asleep/dead?); that guy is probably only 50-odd. Why is he there? The question remains.

    Prosaic but doubtless spot on. Dad probably trying to watch TV round son...



    The plot thickens - Dad, plus dog in this one.

    actually... look closely at first pic, bottom left... spot the elbow

    good spot sherlock still, no need for him (or the random elbow and/or dog) to be in the photo

    There's a dog and an odd sock in the last photo too! Pretty crappy shots, just look at how green his jeans are.

    I still remember an eBay seller (I shop for vinyl) who had his (very attractive!) girlfriend to pose with each slab of wax in some 'interesting' positions, with very little clothing - worked a treat, he made a packet, most tunes going for well over the odds, and I bet he had fun taking the shots!

    Re: Odd ebay pictures...

    there was a superlight wheel for sale on ebay last week that the guy had got his sister to stand in the pic of so he could write "unfortunately my sister isnt included".. which is a shame.

    also:



    the goggles do nothing/what has been seen cannot be unseen etc
