Chris,

I'll not speak for others, but I'm never offended by someone who offers a reasonable suggestion.
You've tempered your suggestion well.
You aren't demanding, you aren't upset, and you're voicing your opinion in a responsible manner.

Don't let being "new" get in your way, your voice is just as important as someone who is an "long timer".

New members equal new ideas, and new ideas benefit all!

I'll second Doug's thoughts.
When I'm shopping online, if there isn't a picture, the possible sale is finished, as in period.

I do not have time to E mail the seller, request, then wait for pictures.
I click the mouse, and move on.

If someone that is selling something worth over a hundred dollars can't be bothered to learn how to post a photo of the item, they don't seem very serious to me.

It is maddening...or amusing, depending on my mood... to read an online ad for a trailer, a car, a motorcycle, etc, with a huge price, like in the thousands, where the seller doesn't know how, or doesn't feel like it is worthy of their time and effort to figure out how to post photos of the item.

The ones that really get me, are when they ask 30-50 grand, but don't include a picture?
You want me to spend thousands on your item, but don't feel like I'd want to see a picture before I drive 500 miles to look at it? :thinking: :thumbdown:

Rob
Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...

Thanks Rob and Doug for not running me out of town for overstepping my newbie bounds. Adding to Rob's list of online seller pet peeves....how fun is it to find exactly what you want on Craig's List, with no photos, and then the last thing the sellers says is something like, "I don't have regular internet access, so you will have to call me at this number" haha. No internet access? Why are you selling something on the internet then?

XJMan, I'll be sure to check out your photos in your album. Thanks for posting them. Sorry to turn your post into a personal minirant about ads without photos, but if nothing else, my post brings your for sale thread back up to the top of the page! ;)

The "email me some pics" reply was a joke stemming from my pet peeve mentioned above about people saying, "Can't figure out how to post pics, so email me and I'll send some to you."

Hmmm....the joke loses something when it has to be explained....haha. :roll:
