On the catalog entry, there are currently 3 pictures:
1. Image of Instructions
2. Set No: / Name:
3. Image of Original box (or polybag)

I would suggest adding a picture (or 2) of the contents of the set so you can
see all of the bags and loose large parts that would be included.

Should be really helpful for those who have open sets and they want to see if
all of the contents are there.

I have voted no, because this will make the catalogue more slow to load and having
to include the picture will NOT make things easier for sellers.

The set's inventory is used as a guide to determine if a used set is complete
or not, not a picture, as the picture will not be able to show ALL of the pieces
in full detail.

I'm guessing that you have several unsealed sets, and would like to determine
if the number of bags is correct?

I did try and implement a feature of where the number of bags could be included
within the listing in the catalogue, but it was turned down due to the "fact"
that the official number of bags does change when sets are packaged for each
market region.
