Pictures, More Pictures

Sorry. I still don't get it.

Despite the unanimous responses in this thread, you appear intractable on this topic.

Perhaps, just as a personal experiment, you might consider uploading two photos in your next listing, and see if the item sells more quickly than your other items.

I agree with Tvad - what can it hurt? You can argue the point til the cows come home but if photos make the buyer more comfortable with buying your product - why not? It's not like it cost a bundle to provide them. A small price to pay to get the item sold.

As both a buyer and seller, I think that pictures are the most important part of the sale. As a buyer, I'll pass over dim pictures or out of focus picture (your pictures, ao far as they go, are excellent). As a seller, if there's the slightest nick I want a nice, clear close up. Also, so close ups with serial numbers and ALL parts are comforting to buyers, so I show them.

Dealing long distance and overseas, pictures are second only to the seller's rating when I'm buying. You don't have anything to hide, but remember, there are many scammers out there that will overhype their wares.

Lack,

I will buy it if you send me a pic of the rear.

Gotta agree with just about everyone else here, a shot of the back panel makes a difference. I've bought a few used pieces in that price range, which is a fairly big stretch for me, so so good shots of all sides really helps ease the apprehension - a lot.

It also helps protect the buyer, and give them some recourse, in case the item shows up with dents/scratches that weren't present in the pictures.
