I like when they do that, makes it kinda funny. If the sign is 6ft he must be tall. I have seen woman in bathing suits holding signs before. There is a guy that sells vintage records and his cat is in every picture. Must love the camera.

I have purchased hundreds of items over the internet since 1998. Most of the sellers I have never met. It is nice to put a face on the seller I guess lol.

brand recognition
you know it's his stuff immediately
there's a guy that sells gas and oil stuff on Ebay and always puts his huge barn in the background with all his cool gas station signs on it!
I see alot of his other stuff for sale in other categories just cuz I see the same big old barn. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281088074979?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649
He is an excellent Ebay seller and people tend to buy an item from him over somebody else just cuz they've done business with him in the past and they were pleased.
This guy is using same approach only he is in the photos...IMO

i have watched a lot of his items, they are usually listed for a long time before actually selling.
i think its a good idea to put something next to signs to reference the size, perhaps that is all he is trying to do.
