Please Post Pictures People!

icon1 Posted by David in Ideas, Rants on March 29th, 2009 | one response

The alliteration in the title of this post says it all…sort of. I am in the market for a car and have been keeping tabs on Craigslist for the past month. I probably won’t actually buy a car until after the summer or even November but I am still looking around and getting a feel for prices.

The point is, please post pictures of cars that you are selling! I have seen so many Craigslist postings where people are trying to sell a car for thousands of dollars but can’t even manage to post pictures! If someone is going to make a large purchase like a car they probably want to see some pictures of the thing. I just thought this was kind of an obvious fact that one should post pictures when posting an item for sale. Its not like it costs any money to post pictures since there are hundreds of free photo sharing sites like Photobucket and Flickr.

I’ll admit that some people at least try to post pictures. Unfortunately these pictures were taken with some junk 1 megapixel camera built into their Razr flip-phone that they purchased in 2004. Epic FAIL. So the point is, please post good pictures of cars that you would like to actually have a shot at selling!! Otherwise your posting is about as useful as a classified ad in the newspaper. The whole point of the internet nowadays is the easy sharing of multimedia so post up some good lookin’ photos of the car that you are thinking about selling if you are going to make a listing on Craigslist!

    I hate when they don’t post pictures, too! It really doesn’t take that much effort to snap a couple photos, upload them, and put them in your post. Come on, people! :-p

    I found this car that you will probably really like! :)
