often collection pics are used on ebay listings, but decided to start thread for ones that misrepresent the item up for sale
and will PM collector and let them decide whether to report listing

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-Vintage-LSI-CPU-Ceramic-collect-gold-refining-/181082775555

states "The first pic shows the actual chip your bidding on"

This picture has been taken from cpu-galaxy and has been altered for the listing

not actually ebay.. but For Sale section in Vintage Computer forum

Someone trying to sell a MCS6502

but someone noticed it likely photo-shopped from picture off web
picture on web is from Kosmo's collection pictures (green background)

he also said there are no markings on the bottom.. which will be incorrect if he actually had one in his hand
