Consider this a public service announcement.

It might be best to not have someone model the clothing you are trying to sell visibly wearing nothing but a thong underneath.

And I can't figure out what the seller is trying to accomplish here. Both front views, just different poses. If you were sold by the first picture, perhaps the second picture with one arm at the side will do the trick.

Brings back memories of the AMI models, sort of.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was about to say :D

I love how people so ugly can think they're so hot and can make so much money modeling off eBay :rolleyes:

Compare the two pictures and look at the chest area. In the first picture there is a difference, and I think that's what is trying to be accomplished. Poor taste, but I guess both seller and model are desperate.:D

1... Were these items laundered after the auction pictures were taken? - Personally, IF (BIG IF) I were to purchase used clothing (such as a jersey) off of ebay, I would like to maintain the illusion in my head, that it was lightly used and that it was never used as underwear or lingerie.

2... CMon Sylbry... be honest... Are you spamming your own auctions again? :rolleyes:

OK, be nice! Boobs are boobs and I'm a big fan, so the situation could certainly be worse.....like, if the model were some fat, greasy DUDE. I see plenty of those and always scratch my head.

Note to all dudes selling jerseys:

Do NOT model your gear in your auction descriptions.
Nobody wants to see that. Chicks don't generally buy jerseys so that "target audience" isn't interested either.
Better a fat chick than a dude any day. :p

Note the classic line in the Bengals jersey description:

Made by Nike and size is a generous XL as you can see by how it fits the full figured model.

If she reads that I think he's dead.

At least he is honest and explains that an men's XL fits very tight on a full figured woman.....
