Wrong picture, clueless seller, or blatant ripoff? These sure don't look like Contour struts.
Function before fashion.

Often times people will grab pictures from another auction of a similar product if they are unable to take photos of their product.
The auction could be perfectly legit, and the incorrect picture makes sense if the Konis are on his car right now and he just used another picture. However, since he doesn't explicitly state that the picture is not of the exact struts, then I wouldn't risk it.

It might be legit. He has another auction where he is selling Intrax springs. It also has same disclaimer that it will be a week until he can ship them. But yeah I'd still be nervous about it.

Just do as I do all the time. Pay via Paypal but use a credit card. You're always protected though the dispute process if you don't get the goods.
