I have been politely informed that I should ask permission to use an image. I understand that.
I acknowledge my mistake for not considering that beforehand.
My original intention was to show only what the calculator looks like because my digitals have not been coming out great.
I have promptly removed the listing with that picture.
My apology again to the people I offended

Thanks for ending the original auction.
There are several issues here including IP theft and bandwidth theft but I prefer to concentrate on your potential buyers. They most likely know what an HP-28 looks like and what it does. For those that don't a link to a site like this one can be provided.
However, what your customers really want to know is what yours looks like and they want any information you have about cosmetic or functional problems. A description of "very good" with a picture of one that is mint is potentially confusing and worse than no picture at all.
Some of your other auctions use your own pictures. Some of them use my text. Please credit me when you do that like:
The description used in this auction is from The Museum of HP Calculators (www.hpmuseum.org).
