    I was on gunbroker and noticed these two separate auctions, they are different sellers in a different state. What got me was that the pictures are the same for both auctions. Is one or both a possible scam? Opinions?

    Not saying that it's not a scam, but a lot of people are lazy and steal pictures from other auctions instead of taking the time to take their own pictures.

    Could also be that both folks don't have any real pics of their item and have grabbed some from the 'net.

    Happens here on INGO, too.

    May be a big deal to some... Not sure it is to me.

    *however, I DO like to see a pic that shows you actually have the item. Not that a pic in an add is wholly definitive for possession in the first place.

    Looks like one of the sellers stole the other's picture

    "[Information added 1/17/2013 12:19:12 PM]There is an auction right now using MY PICTURES and that has been reported to gunbroker.com. The item you are bidding on IS THE ITEM SHOWN IN THESE PICTURES. I thought you should know that."
