Seller Listing Pet Peeve

When I'm viewing for sale ads one of the first things I look for are the connections the particular piece of equipment require or can accommodate.  

The latest was a DAC that had many photos of the top, sides, front, even different angles of the same view, but not a single photo of the rear.  Yeah, I know I can look it up if I'm that interested but the seller could make that point easy on me.  

To me it is critical to understand the options/limitations of a piece of equipment from the very start whether it is an amp, preamp, speakers, DAC, etc.  

OK, rant off.

You are absolutely correct. Sometimes even reviewers failed to show the back of the equipment they review. I always hate it when that happens.

oh the problems of the first world.....

Control C + google + Control V + search.

so hard I know. what a pain. 

sorry for the sarcasm, but seriously you've probably spent more time complaining about this then the time you actual spend doing a google search on an interested Item.

Me too, however my first visit is to the manufactures website and not to rely on a seller's abilities or inabilities to present the item for sale.
