Does anyone find this seller’s eBay listings to be scams? Has anyone bought off this seller before?:

Those listings don’t seem trustworthy, but I can’t judge a seller that I haven’t bought anything from before. The descriptions and photos don’t match, and they are definitely overpriced.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

I won't go as far to say it's a scam but I will say that at those prices I don't think anyone here has bought anything from this seller.

Looking at the seller's feedback, they have very few negative and neutral reviews.

When looking online, (I) never trust single image posts or with images that might appear stolen from Google. Start to doubt when you see a post with a perfect white background unless it is an official store selling that product that can cost a professional background.

You can also do a reverse google Image search if you are ever feeling doubtful about the legitimacy of an image.

Personally I think it's legit but they're all overpriced even using retail prices as a reference. I agree with the stock images thing, I prefer seeing a picture of the actual item on eBay to judge condition. I don't see a problem with including stock images in addition to pictures of the actual item but having just the stock image is a bit sketchy to me.
