As a buyer, I don't like buying anything I can't see. The more I can see the better. It blows my mind when I see an ad with just a model number, no description of the items purpose (amp, etc.) not even a photo. As a seller I want to create the most interest and comfort level possible in the buyer. I try to take photos (I too find it hard to take good photos) that show as many sides as possible and any paraphernalia that goes with it: remote, manual, etc. A good ad ultimately saves time and will help it sell faster. But no matter what you do, as Usblues pointed out, when you put it out there, you have to be ready for a few chain yankers.
