What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads?

Audiogon has been in existence for over 20 years now, and if you are like myself, you probably have read thousands of for sale ads. When I read most of these ads, I always feel like the seller is leaving out vital information about the actual product (unit they own) they’re trying to sell. Some sellers are spot on when they sell something. They describe the unit in full detail, but most don’t. To me that’s a red flag and frustrating. For myself, the most frustrating thing is most ads leave out equipment age. If I’m buying something used this is vital info I want to know. If a seller doesn’t know the age of the unit don’t rate it 9/10 and later telI me I don’t know the actual age. One retailer, I will not mention names, always gives you 3-4 paragraphs of how great of business they are, and leaves one sentence at the end to describe the actual product being sold. LOL

My biggest issue with many for sale ads are lack of pictures. So many sellers do not show the back of whatever piece of equipment they are selling.  I think it pretty important to show as many angles as possible. I personally like to see connection options. 

  When selling speakers,I think it is of equal importance to show the rear of the speaker,as well as the front with the grills off. The first thing I think of when looking at speakers that are only pictured with the grills on is the seller may be trying to hide something. I'm a cynic about these issues.
