Now if the item is not "ready to use", I would add a picture to show the extent of the defects, but why else? What good is a picture of a flywheel?
I have found that some sellers do not know what they are selling either from lack of knowledge or misinformation (maybe even intentionally, you know that all unknown parts default to '32, right). In those cases a picture can make the difference.

I routinely see '35-'36 spindles advertised as '42-'42 square-backs, '37-'41 axles advertised as A or deuce axles, '42-'48 axles advertised as dropped axles, '57+ F-100 brakes advertised as '53-'56 F-100 brakes, ETC.

Obviously, you still need to do your research; but a picture at least shows what you're considering.
