For Sale, but no pictures - Whats that all about?!

#1 Post by River »

Don't understand why people keep posting things for sale with no pictures, particularly things like guns and bayonets - lets face it would you by one without seeing it? Ok bullets, cases I understand, but guns, bayonets etc !! Ok you can request pictures, but if your trying to get somebody's interest in sale you need pictures - rant rant rant!

On a more serious note, pictures will probably come upon request or via a PM.

You too lazy to ask for some Pictures?
When someone says "it's not about the money" you know what? it probably is all about money!

I honestly don't know why anyone selling something wouldn't put pictures. On other forums, I've always provided a range of photos showing the condition in the original post as it saves both my time and that of potential buyers.

Yeah. I understand the reasons why some can find it hard but I pretty much ignore anything without pictures unless it's something I'm super interested in.

hahahah, its not a case of being lazy, if somebody is trying to interest me in buying there stuff at least they could provide a pic (if they can), I would suggest that it would be lazy in the first place to expect to interest people with out a pic.
