item description / photo mismatch

twice with a matching stand. It now appears that no stand is included based
upon the words "stand: no" being tucked away in the description. Am I
entitled to reply upon the two prominent photos or can the seller simply
cite the text as accurate?

if it says there is no stand then it is not reasonable to expect there to be
a stand.

with the stand? At best I feel that the difference between the picures and
the reality are seriously misleading.

I think 'stand: no' is a bit minimal, but it *is* there. Personally I
would have listed very clearly 'NB Stand shown in photos NOT included in
auction' in bold type with a few asterisks either side of the sentence for
good measure to draw attention, but this seller didn't :o/ It is up to
the buyer to read the entire blurb, and ask questions about things which
seem ambiguous to them, though.
IMO, of course,

What size is the TV? I have two or three unused TV stands around (and one
which I converted to a printer stand).

Likewise I can offer the OP a TV stand in black on a collect only basis
from Slough. It'll house up to a 28" widescreen telly and is basically
quite sound (I'd need to give it a clean to check the condition
properly). It was destined for the bin 'cos I thought it too heavy to
sell on eBay.

Most telly shops end up slinging em, I've seen rooms piled to ceiling with
stands no-one wanted, and they're the devils own when it comes to seperating
em. (We've even tried throwing a bucket of water over em ;-).
Just have a word at the local TV repair shop.

That brings to mind when TOG was selling a Honda CB500T chassis, and
had to keep telling potential buyers that the
SuperSoaker/trailer/house/bucket and spade weren't also included.

Did you bid on the TV or the stand? A lot of auctions have photos with a CD
next to them for scale. Would you leave feedback saying "Lovely soft toy,
but didn't come with copy of Sergeant Pepper in photograph"? I photograph
anything I can't scan on a wooden table. It'd cost me a heck of a lot to
post a table with every Subbuteo set I sent out, so I tend not to lump them
together
>At best I feel that the difference between the picures and

not so. The listing said 'no stand', there ain't gonna be no stand.

How do you scan stuff on a wooden table?

What if it was the Stephen King book "The Stand" photographed on a
lecturn?
"The Stand" comes without a stand.
Standard stuff?

keep sending me?

Sell them on Ebay of course!
But remember to put a ruler next to them to show their size. ;-)

Don't photograph them on a TV stand though.

With a handheld scanner. (Been there, done that.)
Or by having one's non-handheld scanner sat on, um, a wooden
table.

for the sake of clarity, I meant anything which won't fit in my scanner I
put on a wooden table and take a photograph of with a digital camera
