Classified Pictures

[campy man]

Is it just me but doesn't a classified add without a pic seem incomplete?

Especially for used items, does it make sense to include a few pics to give the buyer a sense of actual condition?

I simply ignore anything without a photo

I'll sometimes post with the plan to add pictures later in the day. And I generally give it a pass for cheaper items or from well-known forumites, but definitely for more expensive stuff, its a must.

I concur. Ads for used items without pics are a no-go for me. Also, ads for used bikes, where the poster leaves it up to the reader to research the geometry chart...because "it is easily found on the web"...indicates laziness to me. Also a no-go.

The Weight Weenie Forum obliges photos for all Classified threads. Good idea.

I clicked on this thread expecting to see top secret spy planes...

I have to chuckle at my surprise when I bought a Campy rear brake sans pics at The Paceline. It came with the anodizing rubbed away near where the tire would be.

Pics, no pics, it isn't worth another forum rule.

Purchased a brakeset and trusted since via Paceline all was good. Learned the hard way always ask for pics.

I like pics also.

If a seller is serious about selling, he or she posts pics, and exact sizing for the item, and whatnot.

Those that don't post pics are not the devil by any means, but I think that they face a tougher task than those that put good images out there.

I have purchased from this forum without pics at least once, I think, but the item was pretty inexpensive.

yeah, I pretty much do the same unless it's something I REALLY want/need.

I also HATE crap cell phone pics. No excuse for them. None. If you get a bad pic, retake it.
I also hate title lines that have very little information. List the size of the GD frame, or whether the parts you are selling fit Campy or ShimaNo, ferchrissakes.

Have to agree about crappy phone pictures. Blurry phone pics should be banned 😊

Sometimes you don't need photos or even a description. For instance if you post nothing but:

"Used Rapha"

people will start flooding your PayPal account with cash.

And I'm happy to make you in charge of looking at every picture in the classified section to make sure they meet your standards

Deal!
