I would have asked the same thing! LOL! If I am looking at a machine, and truly, I don't buy many, but if the only picture shown on the auction site is from the back, that is a complete turnoff -- although it may not be true I perceive it as being slightly deceptive! I want to see the front of the machine first thing -- showing the back implies there's something to hide. I know that's not always the case, but it sure raises the hair on my head.
