Hi Jim,
You are indeed correct correct that photos are necessary. The more, the better. Be sure to take most from the drive-train (right) side of the bike, with close-ups of the dropouts (fork ends) and where all the tubes are joined. Close-ups of all of the components will help as well. If the other set of cranks (in the box) are new, they are probably valuable by themselves.
Best of luck,
Bob
