Pictures, More Pictures


I've got two ads running right now. Both have pictures and both have good descriptions. There have been many contacts but no questions other than "will you ship to Europe?".
There have been several contacts, however, requesting more pictures.
What gives? Are these people assembling scrapbooks?

in my experience, it's always best to have at least three pictures. one of the front, one of the top, and one of the rear. your two pics are only straight on and give no indication of the condition beyond the front. just because you say it's flawless doesn't mean people still don't want to see for it.
one more point that i haven't seen mentioned. a request for more pictures from the buyer can also be viewed as a test of the seller's level of cooperation. your abject obstinance to snapping a few photos and loading them up speaks volumes to your perceived assistance after the sale if something goes awry. as a potential buyer, i would view your refusal to add more pictures (a simple and easy request) as a refusal to help file an insurance claim if the item arrived damaged.

seriously?! is this how you react to constructive criticism? i was positing a hypothetical situation that might occur in a potential buyer's mind. i did not mean to impugn your character and i apologize if you mistook it this way. but in all honesty, your own words and demeanor within this thread have done more to impugn you than anything i could ever say.
