What is funny is that he did not even try to hide the pictures or at least change them. I just email him telling him this and I would love to hear what he says. Steven

Another interesting item in this auction is that at the bottom in the Seller's Return Policy it is stated the item must be retruned within 3 days and refund to be "money back"! That would be very difficult to do, if it was decided to be not as good as any other chrome Paramount listed the last 5 years on Ebay.
