Worst pictures in history!

I wasn't sure if this should go in our "For Sale" forum or in the "Clubhouse." This ad has to have some of the worst pictures (work / family safe) in history! The car is pretty cool from what I can see though. Decent price too.

Think you can do better? Please feel free to post links to Oldsmobiles for sale with horrible pictures.

BTW, keep it work / family safe (we all know there's crazy stuff on the internet).

This is not the first time I've seen someone post a photo of his PHONE showing a photo of the item being sold.

I'm sorry, but are you really so stupid that you can't simply upload the original photo directly?

He's quite the marketing genius with his description also.

Right up there are the photos of a car with the seller's thumb in front of the license plate. Of course, I don't get the whole "cover the plate" thing in photos anyway. Do you also cover it when you drive it IN PUBLIC? Exactly what scam are you trying to prevent?

I a'm always looking for parts cars Oldsmobile or Miata's. I can't believe how many ad pictures are taken in the dark Marketing 101 take good clear pictures so you can interest someone on your POS you are trying to sell...Tedd.

It may not be the worst picture but is just as bad.
