There's a certain phenomenon I've noticed on eBay—folks trying to sell their stuff with glamorous vanity shots of themselves and/or their friends. Have you come across this? In some cases, these earnest attempts at high fashion work in a rough-around-the-edges hipster way. Other times, however, they backfire, slipping into something I'll kindly call "style satire." But herein lies the rub: While I know I've bought things on eBay because I liked the model, I've also rejected items because the image was so cheesy as to be unimaginable in my life. It would be cruel to single anyone out, though I will say the store Famous Finds hints at a little of both. Sometimes they figure out a way to show a piece that makes it irresistible, but in other shots something I should want to buy just comes across as YIKES!
