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.

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...

Having sold a few pieces on CAM specifically, I have always included model #, pictures of front, back, top, and both sides. I want the Buyer to know everything about the component and what they are getting, so as the Seller I know they can't come back at me. A picture speaks a thousand words.....

 

 

 

@carlsbad - it's been the 'internet age' for a few decades now. That new-fangled Google thing is quite useful for finding info right away about pretty much anything, though. 😁

I do agree though that sellers should have photos of the back of the unit as well as the front and sides....
