hahaha! Actually I've seen that happen to really old Ektachrome slides!!! So it musta been taken with an M3! ;-)

as the mounting surface adjacent to the ding is a bit discollored (sp)

The mounting surface exclusively? Howbout the entire lens surface?
But really, it's a shame that the seller didn't take time to color-correct the photo. That's sure to hurt his bottom line in the end.

If he had an M8, it wouldn't have come out like that.

Obviously, whoever took that shot lacks the intelligence to do color profiling. Or use an M8 properly. Or know that it wasn't taken with an M8, for that matter.
