Just a thought on first impressions, items for sale....and your thoughts.


When looking at a used car, the owner having it clean and looking its best is mostly what my experience has been.  The same is true with buying a home.  That said, I am somewhat surprised that her and on other sites like ebay, there are components that are dusty/dirty, finger printed and basicly not ready for prime time.   Your thoughts?

When it comes to surface dust, a swiffer will do wonders. For aged-on greasy stuff, it's better to let sleeping dogs lie. "a little windex" might very well remove silk-screened lettering on age old faceplates. Been there done that. 

Agree with all that's been said. What's worse is when the add says something like "Finish on the speakers is a little faded, nothing that a bit of wax won't fix".

The why didn't he do it?

 When a nice piece of gear is shown being filthy thats all I need to know...

I agree with the laziness post. How long does it take to dust something?
