Well they certainly don't inspire me to buy from him either.
I would probably be inclined at this point to give him the benefit of the doubt though and assume he's just a very lazy photographer.

Probably parents don't want to buy it for their innocent little children. All I know is, people shouldn't put a book between their legs.

With those hairy legs? I would assume so! It seems the sale has ended now, so you need be offended no more!

These hilarious images reveal why you should always double check a picture before posting it online - especially if it's going on eBay.
Dozens of users were left red-faced after their snaps went viral because they were caught unknowingly flashing the flesh in a misplaced reflection.
Don't worry - won't post the link here.Check the Common Room though,if you are an adult.

It hasn't ended - just relisted - with the same photos!
Do we definitely know its a bloke?!

How peculiar ... I saw a "sale ended" sign across the corner of the photo, but as you say Rob, it is now there again in all its former glory.

I really really don't get this. Why even if you are going to improvise taking the pictures, would you not use a neutral coloured sheet on a table or other furniture and take them? Surely it's easier than trying to hold a camera pointing down with them over your lower torso?

Both times I've read this thread this week I've been at work, if my memory serves me correctly it's a blessing that I can't access eBay to remind myself of this listing!

I think he is just clueless. If he really wanted to "imply" something, he would have made the implication clearer.

Clueless or not - he's certainly implying something to most viewers - or else the book would have been sold after 3 months!

Maybe I'm just a bit of an innocent, but I don't think the seller has even thought about how he is showing off his book!

perhaps he hasn't...but he really should have, loL!
It's an odd thing to do though, as someone else mentioned above - because its an awkward position to take a photo of a book - much easier to take photos on a flat surface!
