Pictures for an ad


Granted, it probably is safe. But I always find it amazing when sellers shoot pictures of their items by placing them on the carpeted floor on their FACE and then on their rear side. Odd. Honestly, just set it on a frickin' counter!

Check out the recent Theta Compli ad.

I care if I want to buy something. I like to see detail, for instance, when buying tubes. For the big equipment it really just confirms that the seller has what they say they have, and general condition. I like it when they include pictures of all sides. I find it ridiculous that some sellers include a picture of the face from 4 different angles and fail to picture the back. How they do it is only important if they get the light they need and some detail shots.
I love the photos of the component covered with six years of dust. Apart from the environment the company has been subjected to, what does it say about the seller to have not even thought to spend three whole minutes cleaning something they're selling? Also, maybe it's just me, but I seem to notice these sellers often ask top dollar for the component.
