Am I being paranoid or is this really suspicious?

Hi all,
I've been looking for a good Amiga monitor on ebay to go with my new Amiga 1000 and I happened accross this auction 1084S monitor on Ebay At first glance this looked pretty good, the guy has no negative feedback, he'd already answered a couple questions, and he's got a picture of the item up for auction. But after some more searching I came across this Second 1084S monitor on ebay Same guy selling it but it looks completely different from the other auction :inquisitive: So I sent him an email about it, he said that commodore made several different versions of the same monitor and that while they looked different they were internally about the same.

Now I know this in fact to be true, however, I decided to do  some more digging anyway and eventually came across this
1802 Monitor on ebay Again it's the same person but this time he's used the picture from the first 1084S auction I discovered to describe a 1802 monitor :-o

Now I should probably give the guy the benefit of the doubt but I can't help wondering if something is amiss. Am I just being paranoid or does this look a bit odd to anybody else  :-?

Hi A1200Power,
Hmm...well I'm still a little iffy about this. I know I sound overly cautious but I just find the whole thing with the picture a bit odd.

I don't suppose you, or anyone else here, has dealt with this gamearena person before  :-?

Oh btw would I need an adaptor to use a UK monitor in Canada? Or is there just a switch on the back to change the power setting?

@Piru
That's a good rule to follow, but I still wonder if maybe I'm being a little paranoid in this case :-?

@countzero
That's the thing; I don't want to judge this person too harshly just because they might have uploaded the wrong picture. At the same time I don't want to get ripped off  :shrug:

*sigh* okay I'm gonna take a big chance here and bid on the monitor despite my reservations.

[techie]

Well I guess I was getting all worked up about nothing. With 3 sec's left in the auction I was outbid by $1.00.   :lol:

@mpiva,
That'd be awesome. Private Message sent :-)

@redrumloa
I tend to agree but I really wonder if I'm being overly cautious sometimes.
