Picture of saw posted by seller:

Picture taken of same saw with proper lighting:

I havn't run that type of starter since I was in high school.

Good thing I bought it for parts and not as a runner.

Hahah, interesting. Must be the seller went for that hot saw look.

Wonder how long he had to play with exposure rate and lighting to get the desired deception..err...effect.

My cusion has a 50yr old Victa push mower with a state if the art starter like that..;-)

Looks clear to me...

The one and only thing I learned from photography back in high school: it's all in the lighting. Applies to busted up saws and ugly women equally well.

Because, you used Kodak software on it?

Good case in point:

Take the seller's crummy pictures and run them thru photo editing software before bidding.

Danm straight I'll do it on the next one.

It doesn't always help, but it would have picked this one up.

Was the representation in words grossly different from what the pictures show? If not, I don't see "deception" so much as I see poor photography.

The question now is, what are you gonna do with it?

 

[67L36Driver]

Deliberate deception? I really can't say. A lot of sellers just don't know poo-poo about chainsaws.

More like amature buyer colides with amature seller.

I admit I tend to be too optomistic.

I sell occasionally on 'the bay, know a little about saws but am a little photography impaired. But I keep on doing it until I get a decent representation of the saw they're bidding on lest I have a very unhappy buyer...

Feed my Remington rebuilding frenzy.

Aside from the absent recoil starter the only other real problem is the scored piston. The PL-5 shares many parts with the SL-4 and PL-4.

Enhance the seller's picture.

Here is a prime example of a dark almost worthless picture.

After using Kodak picture editing software.

Still not the best but I can see the starter dog mechanism is present.

Thanks to Mr. edisto, photo editing will be S.O.P. from now on.

I knew if I lived long enough, I'd be of use to somebody.

You never know what the right adjustment will reveal...

I do. usually any pic that I get that is unclear I run through Photoshop. I guess that would be because that is my profession though.
