Pictures, More Pictures

Sorry. I still don't get it. I mean I understand plainly that everyone wants pictures. I just don't understand the level of emphasis this want receives. You can see 6 gorgeous photos of a $4000 power amp only to find out, once you own it, that it doesn't work. You'll be getting what you were concerned about though. It will have no blemishes.
Or maybe you'll buy some stone gorgeous turntable with arm, cartridge, isolation platform and the seven most sought after tweaks, only to learn later that the seller sent you pictures of somebody else's turntable and headed for Lisbon.
You know, the funny thing in all this is that I have not received a photo request from Europe yet. They always open by asking if I would be willing to ship over there.

I agree with Tvad - what can it hurt? You can argue the point til the cows come home but if photos make the buyer more comfortable with buying your product - why not? It's not like it cost a bundle to provide them. A small price to pay to get the item sold.

As both a buyer and seller, I think that pictures are the most important part of the sale. As a buyer, I'll pass over dim pictures or out of focus picture (your pictures, ao far as they go, are excellent). As a seller, if there's the slightest nick I want a nice, clear close up. Also, so close ups with serial numbers and ALL parts are comforting to buyers, so I show them.

Dealing long distance and overseas, pictures are second only to the seller's rating when I'm buying. You don't have anything to hide, but remember, there are many scammers out there that will overhype their wares.

Lack,

I will buy it if you send me a pic of the rear.
