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.

Chances are the seller is hiding something.

Caveat emptor.  If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Yep.  people list the model number like the whole world has all the specifications of this model component memorized. Sometimes they don't even list the brand like any fool should know the equipment by the shortened name.  

I guess the internet age is that they expect you to google it.

Marketing... it is more important than most people think. yes, even in private transactions.

If you can properly document the item you are selling (including photos, age, use, previous ownership), you have a Better chance of selling it. A lack of information is a Red Flag for potential purchasers. 

Caveat Emptor...
