I am new here, so no disrespect intended, but when people post in the Marketplace section, why do most people not post pictures!? Why does anyone need to give their email address for pics to be sent.
Post the pictures of what you are selling and any damage to the produt, that way everyone knows what's up in the beginning of the sale. If nothing else, it is helping you sell your product quicker.
Someone is advertising a $27,000 car for sale w/ no pictures. Others are putting up $3,000 wheels w/ no pics. This is a big investment for most, the least you can do is post some pictures.
If you don't have a digicam, get a throw away camera and have the pics burned to a disc at Walgreen's.
Just thought I would make a suggestion.

 

+1.....I never even read an ad if I don't see pics start popping up.

 

Some people either don't know about the upload pictures option on this site or their firewall/router does not allow them to do so. Some don't care to sign up on sites like photo buckets or even know how to do the [img] tag.

You gotta understand that some people still double click on links, not everyone is internet savey like you. Some people think the internet consists of the browser and email. So they do the most familiar thing they know, send pictures through email. I once convinced my co-worker that I can make her monitor turn into a camera by installing a software. She started to fix her hair while I pretended to install something...

Peace and Respect.

 

lol.....yeah, I used to teach windows classes to the elderly a few years ago and the first session was always showing them that as they move the mouse around so moves the arrow on their screen. On 2 different occasions I was hailed by someone claiming not to be able to see the cursor moving around on the screen....only to go back there and find that they've got the mouse on the SCREEN!!!!

 

It's not just pictures, it's also providing complete descriptions(i.e. offsets, wheel width, etc.) be as detailed as possible in the beginning.
I can understand the "internet savoy" comment. I would suggest to ask a freind or take the time to learn something new and take the time to learn how to post pics.
It would just make for a smoother running sale and benifit both buyer and seller. My .02

 

The same reason sponsors post Call for best price instead of stating the price.

 

 

I think they do that to prevent price matching. That and sometimes they're not allowed to post the prices, because they're not really suppose to sell it at that price.

 

i AGREED. But that how thing here. You can't really chnage people. Just the way they are. Get used to it.

 

Thank god. The last thing that we need is price competition.

 

Goodness... that reminds me of a computer class I had to take a long time ago. The first couple of classes were spent on basics such as...

When you pull the mouse towards you, the arrow on the screen goes down. When you push it away from you, the mouse goes up. I think somewhere mid-year we were going to cover copy & paste.

Needless to say... I dropped the class. I couldn't take it.

Just watch people who aren't familiar with computers... use one. They always go to FILE > CLOSE (and it takes them 20 seconds to negotiate the menu), instead of clicking the X. Drives me crazy.

 

I've seen it a lot where people dont have a digital camera or know how to upload pics to their computer from their camera.

I say this because I had to teach my wifes dad how to do this. uggh it was pretty painful too.
