Am I the only person that misses seeing photos in the classified ads?

[10Seconds]

I usually know what the item I want to buy looks like. But what I want to see in the pics are the condition, wear, etc of the one thats is being sold.

Hell, I'd be happy if people would even name the caliber in their ad.
"Buy my Centuar VP99FDJ2.9RQ-7 for $399!"
"Don't worry about where I'm at...And take a wild guess at what I'm looking for in trade and what your payment options may be and whether or not I am willing to ship."
"I assume everyone has a smart phone, so we can correspond in that manner."
"There is a good chance that if I don't like your offer, you will be ignored."
"RAWR!"

This. I like it when there are four or five of a semi-auto one showing the breech face one showing the outside of the barrel one showing the rails. All the places that wear. Plus a couple of the outside that that show if it has spent its life under a truck seat. Detail pictures are what sell it for me.

Photographs are required in classified ads at other gun forums...why not here?

 

[OSU_Chris]

Other groups I am a member of require a picture with a listing. No picture, listing gets deleted. I personally can't imagine trying to sell someting without a picture other than maybe ammo. JMO

Not everyone is computer literate.

I've got some ridiculously large pics up in the classifieds...

Not everyone is computer literate.

If you literate enough to sign up for an account your literate enough to post a pic. It's not rocket science.
