charge him

Happens all the time, often worse. A buddy of mine on the Porsche boards has a custom early 911 he's spent years building. A while back he was inundated by e-mails from people shocked that he was selling his car; he wasn't, of course, someone on eBay had jacked his photos. Worse was they were selling a stock 911 from the same year, while he's spent over a hundred grand on his (engine, suspension, custom-made wheels, paint, interior, etc) and it looks it. For the seller to rationalize the theft with "Hey, mine's a black 911 too! They're similar enough..." was just evil disguising itself as clueless.

I just don't think that the replacement picture is doing justice for the BMW overlays...

I don't know about you guys, but I sure have a lot of faith in a seller who uses random photos off the internet to sell his products.
