I don't see anything amiss ... It looks like a decent auction to me. Care to explain?

No FPR, a typo perhaps.
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

The biggest things that I notice, is that the description states that it has a built in web cam, and is "DVD-Recordable", yet I don't see a web cam, and the optical drive is a CD-RW/DVD, not a DVD-RW.

Oh, and the lack of a Fingerprint Reader...

I guess someone isn't going to be happy...

I've seen many worse sellers. This one at least discloses the screen's low resolution.

Dell OptiPlex 9010 SFF (Core i3-3220 / 8GB / 8TB); HP 8300 Elite minitower (Core i7-3770 / 16GB / 9.25TB)

Another case scenario is, the pictures could be of another Z61m the seller had. Busy sellers, taking pictures of every identical item they sell can be cumbersome. Just my 2 cents.

Cool titanium lid. I didn't know that Z61m's had them, but then again I've never seen one before. It looks like it scratches easily.

More still comes!
It says "Bluetooth", but doesn't
If you pay a little more attention in the picture of DVD/CD_RW, you will see something is bent, perhaps broken :)

I've seen many dishonest sellers on eBay. One time, I deal with this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0119869794

It said 128MB ATI Radeon X1400, but it was 64MB ATI Radeon X1300. It said "New, seal in box", but how could 512MB ram became 1GB Ram if you didn't open the laptop!
I had to open a case dispute on PayPal. Finally, he returned 100$ However, it's not all. he keep lying his next items.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0138379440

You see! now it's 64MB ATI Radeon X1400
T60 T2400 1,83GHz 1GBRam ATI X1300 (Sold)
Z61t (9443-AA4) T5600 1,83Ghz 1GBRam 1400x900
T61 (6458 4UU)--> Just bought!( Now Sold!)

Yeah, I'll keep the black finish on my T40...

Regarding the auction, as many have said, I've seen worse.

Ditto - and the seller has another Z61m on there with the same set of pictures. At least they're not the type of small stock photos though that you see on many listings. But, as I'd always say, if you're unsure of anything because pics don't match with the listing description, ask questions.
