Does anyone recognize these pics? I am trying to figure out if this is a legit ad or not.

The cut out pictures just look goofy.
I asked the seller for more pics and he sent more of the clipped out variety. Just made my spidey senses tingle.
Quoted from galaxian:I have seen that cut out picture before on craigslist last year. I think it is a scam
Thanks! I figured they would be very recognizable if they had appeared elsewhere before.
Seller goes by Jeff and will only say he lives in the metro Detroit area.
I assumed they are clipped because otherwise people ask about the pins next to the one you are selling. Just because the poster has some Photoshop skills doesn't mean it is a scam.
If you think the images may have been lifted, you can do a Google Image search:
https://images.google.com/
Of course if they tweaked them a bit they may not show up in there, so no guarantees, but a good way to catch lazy scammers.
Quoted from rs812:Nice find!!
Thanks!!
No prob. "The game plays tight and right." <-- That's some pretty unique and findable text right there.

It reappears. Is this legit or not? Anyone have any experience with this seller?
More of the same clipped photos.

The seller has been on Pinside for a long time, but they have never made any posts. It could be legit, but I'd exercise extreme caution.
