if you're reading this then you already know...


Anybody else notice the laziness in ads lately? Seems to be getting worse especially in commercial ads. Every ad exclaims "if you're reading this then you already know" everything there is about how amazing product xyz is and all its technical features and have of course seen all the reviews. The ads in question then proceed to provide no links and no further information.

This is still a hobby forum. Please take the extra 2.5 minutes to provide YOUR perspective and maybe some information. If I "already knew" everything as the ads claim - I guess I'd be plugging my iPOD into my BOSE system for perfect sound 'cuz they claim the same thing

I generally do not care to read about what a phenomenal product is being sold so the seller can then upgrade to an even more phenomenal product. Therefore, I don't really mind when there is not a lot of rhetoric in the ad, especially since I conduct my own research on items I purchase. I do however like to be provided with an honest description of the item and its condition, as well as any historical information such as whether it has been repaired, upgraded, or recently checked out at the factory, and whether it has any "quirks" or other issues I should be aware of. Of course pictures of the actual item are very helpful. A seller cannot possibly address every buyer's issues and questions in a for-sale ad, which makes it a plus when a seller takes the time to completely and truthfully answer specific questions from individual potential buyers. I would not buy from a non-responsive seller, or one who I thought was giving me a line of BS.
