    I don't understand why people post a classified ad saying I have this firearm for sale and then "I will post pics later on". How about you spend an extra few minutes and have pictures ready before you post your ad. Maybe its just me but I just don't see why people are so anxious to post their ad up without all the information. There's plenty of great sellers on here who always post pics, round count, original owner, price, and exact location aka city you live in norcal/socal isn't good enough. It would save everybody some time without having to pm/email the seller numerous times for the info. Is this asking too much honestly?

    Some people think to list when they are at work or even on the road via web phone. and dont have time or the camera w/ them. Some still dont own a camera and must borrow one.
    Lots of sellers here are not experienced and that makes them look like amatures because they are and there is nothing wrong with that. If you have questions ask them.

      well, for me it usually is a matter of trying to coordinate having internet access to upload them/post the for sale thread and having the items in the same place.

      I might remember a nifty thing I need to sell while I'm sipping a latte checking my email on my laptop at a cafe surounded by soccermoms and hippies who just wouldn't fully apriciate how neat a real slick side colt upper with the correct gas system and transitional bolt is.

      Since I don't really want to get to spend time with Fedup in a professional capacity (great guy to hang out with, but I suspect it wouldn't be quite as much fun if I had to put on the orange jumpsuit ) I'll just take the pics when I get home and post them later.


      Heh... can you imagine if I actually brought some of the stuff I sold to school with me so I could post pics?

          It's their for sale thread and their stuff. They're in no way obligated to provide you with any more information than what they choose. If that keeps you from buying it, that's your choice.

              It's my money and dammit I want it my way - Really though, perhaps they listed but have remorse if it sells. So, no info for you.

                  I hate how people want pictures for *everything* posted for sale, no matter how generic/standard.

                  You could post a factory new Glock with standard sights for sale and people will still want a photo.

                    I am the kind of person that would love to see pics of what I am buying. No matter if it is described NIB. If I am paying for something I would like to see it because NIB does not mean the same to everyone.

                    PLEASE POST PICS WITH YOU F/S ADD. PLEASE
