Is this legit?

I asked him to post a pic of the floppies close up and a pic of the system req. He said he would but has failed to do so. And wadaya know! He is also selling an immaculate copy of IBM DOS 2.1 for a surprizingly low price. I am starting to really think he is just full of shit.
DOS 2.1:

Well, he does say it is in excellet condition... (Yay autocorrect! I had to go back and purposefully re-misspell the misspelled word!)

I'm not arguing and in fact it's quite possible that those diskettes do not go with that documentation; I'm just suggesting that one should not rely totally on Wikipedia for 100% accurate facts.

"It's on the internet so it must be true!"...

And now that I've learned that listing something for too low a price means that I might be full of shit I'll be sure to double what I was planning to list my old MS software packages for, or at least scratch and dirty them up a bit...

I would expect that you would include legible photos and shots that include the spines of the binders which indicate which product the binder came from. Blurry photos and careful concealment of critical information tends to trigger my wariness of a potential scam.
 
If it's Works 1.x for DOS, three disks is about right - I have Works on one 720 kB 3.5" floppy.

And the picture, while small and fuzzy, does contain text on the disk labels that looks like it could read "Works for Windows". Of which, I have never heard of a version for Windows 2.x. The "Working Model" bit makes me wonder if this was a very late-stage beta of Works 1.x for Windows?
