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.
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.
