So, you want me to buy your vehicle, and you decide to put up a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

You figure, "Pictures are a good way to let people see whether they want to buy it." Now, you could take your cell phone out to the vehicle and snap a few shots...

Or, you could hire an incompetent private investigator to take a single, blurry telephoto shot from his hidden surveillance post 300 yards away.

Yeah, go with the latter.

yes, most people really don't understand the concept that SALES PHOTOS are what sell most things online.

Found some good shit on craigslist by responding to ads posted by people who have no idea how to craigslist. Usually, bad ads deter other people from contacting the seller, so you can get good deals when it works out.

This Cutlass Supreme has been listed for months. Only Picture here. The description is two sentences: "Runs really well. Would make a good project".

I wish I could find the ad, but there was a truck for sale and MULTIPLE photos of the truck with huge things in front of it. A house, a hay bale, etc.

The worst are the people that don't even post pictures at all. You obviously have to have a computer to make the damn ad, so don't tell me you don't have the ability to attach a photo.

But, these Craigslist people are mostly amateurs. Even more egregious are the professional classic car dealers that advertise in national venues like Hemmings and post like 50 pictures of the exterior, but not one single shot of the interior or engine compartment.
