Artemus - you nailed it regarding the fact different configurations for the same component are not uncommon.
Include the information and picture and eliminate all doubt.
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.

OP, +1 What I like to see is all of the connections that are no longer apparent on the front panel because of digital screens (and some times unduplicated controls on the remote control), but most importantly on common components whether or not it is 100v, 117, 240 (+/-) which might suggest it is grey market product which could be difficult to get service on (i.e. Accuphase, for one). |
I agree @pinball101. If someone can take pictures of the top sides,and bottom,why not the back? Why should a potential buyer have to to extra leg work for the seller? It’s the sellers job to make the effort for the sale,not the other way around. |
As a frequent seller over on USAM (username: rhinocom) I completely agree with the OP. At times, I have considered making the rear photo my lead photo! But it is usually my second photo. As a buyer, the rear is about tied as the most important photo as the front photo. I think some sellers may not post a rear photo at least right away, because they want to get the listing up and add the rear photo when they can get behind it or get it out of their rack. It can be a pain to get that rear photo if the unit is still in the rack. But I agree, if you really want to sell your unit. You just have a rear photo. |
