) Its incredibly realistic. Since we have a rain forest themed den, it fit right in. Its fun when people come over and we watch the looks on their face as they walk from the den to the kitchen and pass this life sized Marijuana plant thats planted in a planter with real dirt.
I'd always put in the description somewhere that "the plant in the background" was plastic and I'm ONLY selling the item photographed, and nothing more. On certain types of items it was a HIT!!! People would email and say their friend dropped them a link to this auction... They wanted to know where I got the fake plant. Those items always seemed to sell faster. 
If your referring to cars as in "the kind you drive" then yeah... I can see that as an option. Most cars look pretty-much the same. All you need are the details of engine size, make, model, options, reliabilty, etc. There isn't much to really see if your selling something like used automobiles. They are probably going to test drive it anyways, and they can see the details then. I'm referring more to smaller things like electronics, antiques (not necessarily beds and larger antiques), collectibles, and smaller furniture. If people need a car they are usually willing to settle for any picture. But if your selling a smaller item, like a used camera, and they are selling across country, thats a different story altogether.
